From July 7 to August 2, 2002, the Meyner Center will conduct an NEH institute at Lafayette College for 30 teachers of American government, civics, and history. With the director, seven visiting scholars, and a master social-studies teacher, participants will study, discuss, and develop pedagogies for:
- the history of America’s state constitutions from 1776 to 2001,
- traditions of state constitutional design,
- theories of democracy, rights, popular government, political liberty, and representation in the state constitutions,
- state constitutional successes and failures, and
- the impacts of state constitutions on public and private life.
Participants will develop techniques for using state constitutions and constitutional history, and judicial/legislative interpretations of those documents, in their teaching. By exchanging ideas with faculty and each other, participants will form a teaching and sharing community focused on the entire constitutional framework and history of the United States and of their own states.
Deadline for application submissions is March 1, 2002
