Maryland Humanities Summer Institute: Teaching Frederick Douglass’s Narrative and What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?
Join us for the third session of the Maryland Humanities Summer Institute, presented by the Frederick Douglass Center for Leadership Through The Humanities. The institute will establish richer connections between UMD faculty and middle/ high school teachers in the region (and beyond) by supporting teachers’ intellectual and professional development around Humanities areas of study.
The institute features a series of FREE 60-75 minute Zoom seminars led by UMD faculty members. Seminars will be focused on giving teachers tools to enhance their pedagogical practices around specific topics.
Led by Distinguished University Professor of English Robert Levine, this free 60-75 minute Zoom seminar will look at key moments in Frederick Douglass's Narrative and in the speech, will present teaching strategies, and will pay special attention to key historical contexts, such as the Fugitive Slave Act.
