New York US History Workshop: Japanese American Incarceration During WWII

Join us for an upcoming Facing History & Ourselves Workshop! A US History Workshop: Japanese American Incarceration During WWII

This workshop explores the question, “What can we learn from the stories of Japanese Americans who stood up for their democratic rights and freedoms?”. This event will be hosted in-person.

Join this one-day workshop for New York-area educators to discover tools and strategies to engage your students’ hearts, minds, and consciences in a C3-style inquiry focused on Japanese American incarceration during WWII. You’ll come away from this workshop prepared to implement Japanese American Incarceration in WWII: A US History Inquiry. By analyzing the conditions that led to the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans, your students will gain from this inquiry a historical understanding of a period of prejudice and persecution, not just toward Japanese Americans but toward all people of Asian descent in the United States. 

This workshop is a perfect fit for social studies and humanities classroom teachers and will help participants gain a deeper understanding of the legacy of educational inequity in the US and acquire tools to help adopt more equitable teaching practices.

Participants will leave with a thorough introduction to Facing History’s Inquiry into Japanese American Incarceration during WWII, which includes practical teaching strategies and curated resources designed for classrooms. There is a registration cost of $25, which includes a light breakfast, coffee/tea, lunch, and all materials. This workshop is eligible for CTLE hours.
