Oregon secondary school teachers will have the chance to examine the topic of immigration at a free summer institute sponsored by the Oregon Council for the Humanities (OCH).
“The Unfinished Nation: Immigration and American Life” is a free weekend program offered to Oregon secondary school teachers and will be held July 17-19, 2009, at Southern Oregon University in Ashland. The registration deadline for the institute is April 17, 2009.
Enrollment is limited and preference is given to full-time Oregon secondary school teachers. Institute participants earn thirty hours of continuing education credit. Two graduate credits are available through the host institution for a per credit fee. Applications are available at http://www.oregonhum.org or by request from Jennifer Allen at (503) 241-0543, (800) 753-0543, or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
OCH Teacher Institutes are offered free of charge thanks to the generous support of individuals, foundations, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Daniel J. Tichenor, Senior Faculty Fellow at the Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics and Philip H. Knight Professor of Social Science at the University of Oregon, will serve as the institute director. Working with Tichenor, as well as guest scholars and peers, teachers will explore the history of immigration nationally and in the Northwest; the economic, social, cultural, and political dimensions of immigration; and the tough choices facing us in education policy and immigration reform.
