PEDAGOGICAL RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES
This archival research also easily lends itself to diverse research and pedagogical opportunities for scholars and current educators in the fields of Theatre (Dramaturgy, Performance Studies, Dramatic Criticism, History, Analysis), Art (Fashion/Costume Design, Graphic Design), English (Dramatic Literature), History (Public History) and other Humanities courses because it offers insight to:
The history of African American educational theatrical practices over the span of 100+ years
Black pedagogical practices regarding drama/theatre
The creative practice of both popular and lesser-known African American scholars, theatre makers and practitioners
