This three-year, $149,696 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities will support the "Inclusive Public History" initiative at Montclair State University. The initiative aims to develop faculty expertise in public history through training programs, create new public and digital history courses, and establish opportunities for place-based student learning at cultural institutions. These activities align with the federal program's goal of promoting humanities teaching and learning resources under the "Promotion of the Humanities Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development" program (CFDA 45.162). The university will train faculty in public history methods via a reading program and guest speakers, who will then develop new courses and incorporate public history practices into existing curriculum. Students will gain educational experiences through site visits to public history locations in New Jersey, New York City and Washington D.C., led by faculty applying their new skills. The history department intends to permanently establish place-based learning opportunities through this work.
