This database includes three ways to browse the compiled teaching resources: by author or artist name, by general theme, and by course level. There are currently two general themes: race & ethnicity, gender & sexuality. Navigate to a specific theme and view sub-categories using the dropdown menu above.
These teaching resources should act as a starting point . In many ways, we have only just begun this work and only provide minimal sample teaching materials, such as discussion questions, small activities, or project ideas focused on one primary source.
Want to just dive in and see what surfaces? Try clicking a tag in the word cloud below! Some might have only one lesson currently, some might have dozens.
