Join us virtually on March 15th from 4:00-5:30 for the second session of California History-Social Science Project’s Sources of Justice online scholar series where participants deeply analyze and interpret primary sources with a focus on how race and racism has informed and shaped our concept of justice in American and World History.
We will hear from Lorena Márquez, Professor of Chicano/a Studies at UC Davis. Dr. Márquez will discuss her new book: La Gente: Struggles for Empowerment and Community Self-Determination in Sacramento (University of Arizona Press, 2020). The book examines how la gente, or everyday people, grappled with the ideologies, strategies, and political transformations of the Civil Rights era.
Funded by the Library of Congress’s Teaching with Primary Sources program, the Sources of Justice series brings together CHSSP’s network of scholars, teacher leaders, and teacher educators to inquire into questions such as what or who are sources of justice; how have scholars used primary sources to shape our understanding of struggles for justice over time and place; and what does justice or its absence feel and look like in primary sources?
Join us online (4-5:30pm, PST) for one webinar or the entire series. Register here.
