Free summer teacher institute looks at class in America
The Oregon Council for the Humanities offers teachers the chance to explore money, mobility, and the American Dream.
19 February 2008
Why is it so difficult to talk candidly about how class shapes our identities, our institutions, and our shared culture? The Oregon Council for the Humanities (OCH) is offering Oregon secondary school teachers an opportunity to examine this issue at a free summer institute.
“Decoding Class: Money, Mobility, and the American Dream” is a free weekend program offered to Oregon secondary school teachers and will be held July 18-20, 2008, at Oregon State University’s Cascades Campus in Bend. Teachers will explore class in literature, history, and popular culture; social and economic mobility as the basis of the American Dream; the role of class in contemporary culture; and the intersections of class with religion, race, and gender.
