Session Abstract

Explore the vibrant mosaic of curricular resources that make up the Hidden Voices Project, an initiative by the NYC's Department of Social Studies & Civics that empowers students to discover their own narratives in the annals of time. Since its inception in 2019, this groundbreaking project has brought educators, scholars, and institutions together in collaboration to address the often-overlooked voices that shape our collective past.

Join contributors to the different volumes of the Hidden Voices project as we present on this transformative endeavor and discuss how it might be used and replicated in other contexts. From leading scholars to museum educators and NYC public school teachers, our panelists will delve into the inclusive learning experiences that celebrate the diverse perspectives and contributions of marginalized communities.

Discover firsthand how these innovative curricular resources are revolutionizing K-12 classrooms and beyond, as our esteemed speakers share insights and examples from the Hidden Voices Project. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with history in a whole new light and uncover the stories that have to often been omitted from the narratives introduced in our K-12 history and social studies classrooms.
