Teaching through Primary Sources & Archival Materials: Six Workshops

The Roots of Knowledge 2021 Series MAR 18-APR 22, 2021

Curated by Matthew Mugmon, CUES Distinguished Fellow, this multi-panel workshop series addresses a significant pedagogical challenge in higher education: the lack of undergraduate opportunities to engage with primary sources. Each of the six workshops features a different aspect of using primary sources and archival materials in undergraduate education and research, and introduces some of the many archives available at the University. Faculty, researchers, and students of all disciplines are encouraged to attend and explore strategies for using physical and digital archives in their work. Admission is free.
