The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to Loyola Marymount University to support the "THE PUBLIC USES OF THE PAST SUMMER INSTITUTE" program under the Promotion of the Humanities Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development program (CFDA 45.162). The institute will introduce rising seniors from historically marginalized and underserved populations in Los Angeles high schools to public history and how to grapple with "difficult pasts", using examples from Los Angeles, the United States, and internationally. In addition, the institute will include sessions on college applications, opportunities, and career pathways. The goal is to deepen students' understanding of history as a discipline and strengthen faculty capabilities in using public history as a pedagogical approach. The project will be conducted from Apr 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2027.
