Blackness in Europe: Professional Learning Series

On February 26th, the GLC begins an enriching professional development series that examines the complexity of racial formations in the classroom by exploring Blackness in Europe. Through conversations with historians and guest speakers, we will uncover the legacies of key figures such as Nathaniel Wells, Shakespeare, and the Tudor period. We will also explore how technology can help bring these stories into the contemporary classroom in meaningful and engaging ways.

This series will delve into themes in art, literature, theater, and historical sources, using both primary and secondary materials to deepen our understanding of race and identity across time.
