Rethinking the Gilded Age and Progressivisms: Race, Capitalism, Democracy 1870-1920

Loyola University Chicago, the University of Illinois Chicago, and the Chicago History Museum invite teachers to "Rethinking the Gilded Age and Progressivisms: Race, Capitalism, Democracy, 1877 to 1920." The program's core is a three-week summer institute in Chicago for 30 resident teachers across grades 6-12 from July 8-28, 2023. Participants will deepen their knowledge through readings, discussions, lectures, inquiries into primary sources, and exploration of Chicago's landmark historical and cultural resources. Applications to Teachings sessions will help participants design classroom-ready teaching materials. Participants will also shape a virtual conference to be offered in Spring 2024 and new featured content on our website.
