The Bard Institute for Writing and Thinking invites teachers and professors to attend the July Weeklong Workshops at Bard College's beautiful campus on the Hudson River. Nine different workshops will be on offer, including two funded by a generous grant from the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources program. These workshops -- Writing to Learn and Thinking Historically Through Writing -- focus on writing-to-read strategies for analyzing primary documents, secondary texts, and visual artifacts so that participants learn how historians interpret evidence and construct stories based on those interpretations. Many imaginative teaching strategies enrich and enliven students’ appreciation of the past. Writing is the least used and yet perhaps the most versatile of these strategies, since it allows students to discover worlds that differ from our present and to explore varied—and often conflicting—interpretations of our histories.
The July Weeklong Workshops are held July 9-14, 2023 at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY. For more information, please visit: https://iwt.bard.edu/july/
