"LGBTQ+ Histories of the United States" is a two-week virtual institute for middle and high school teachers to understand LGBTQ+ history as a constant presence within U.S. history. Each day prominent guest scholars will join the institute for a full day of conversation and hands-on workshops. Teachers will explore the rich body of recent scholarship covering the span of U.S. history, from early America to the 1990s, and engage sources suited for classroom use, including military and government records, oral history interviews, literature, and art and photography. In addition, teachers will participate in “behind the scenes'' virtual sessions with curators and staff at the Lesbian Herstory Archives, Leslie Lohman Museum, and New York Public Library.
