Living on the Edge of Empire, an NEH Landmarks workshop occurs twice in the summer of 2013: July 7 to July 12 and July 28 to August 2. Held in Deerfield, Massachusetts, this workshop for teachers places the 1704 French and Native American Raid on Deerfield in the broader context of the history of colonial New England.
Workshop scholars will explore global issues while also considering ways in which this history can offer a compelling entry point for teaching the complexities of the early American colonial period and the many cultural groups who comprised it –Native nations, enslaved Africans, the French and English settlers.
Explore the shared experiences of “living on the edge of empire” and consider the role those experiences played in helping to forge a distinctly American identity and, ultimately, a new nation. Please visit our website for application and other details:
