Women are largely excluded from the traditional curricular narrative of colonial America. This institute will reframe and expand the customary stories of the four major European powers in North America—the Spanish, Dutch, French, and English—to identify women’s integral participation in the formation and evolution of colonial American societies. Participants will consider how women of different races, classes, and ethnicities encountered one another on America’s shores and their agency within the colonial systems. Throughout the program, participating teachers will engage in lively discussions with scholars and workshop classroom-ready strategies for weaving women’s histories into the classroom.
