Summer Immersion Seminar offered by the NSAHC:
“The Real War Will Never Get in the Books: Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities of Teaching the American Civil War”
THIS SEMINAR IS FULL
This three day immersion seminar will feature Dr. Margaret Storey, Associate Professor of History at DePaul, noted Civil War era historian and author. This seminar will allow participants to explore Walt Whitman’s notion that the ‘real’ Civil War was an event of such enormity and complexity as to prevent the war from ever being truly understood by later generations. The immersion format allows for two days at the Newberry Library, historical lectures, readings and analysis of primary sources from the Newberry collection, and a final day at Palatine High School to pull the experience together for the classroom. THIS SEMINAR IS FULL
