AFESC-ARNCTA Presents: Teaching Chinese American History in the South



This Spring, Arkansas NCTA presents an exciting full-day workshop on Chinese American History in the South. Though often overlooked in history textbooks, Chinese communities have called the South home for over 150 years, as farm workers, as grocery store owners, and sometimes as political leaders. Exploring this history in the classroom not only introduces students to the rich diversity of our state, but also provides opportunities to engage local archives, oral history databases, and GIS StoryMaps. This six hour, in-person workshop brings together scholars and community leaders to share Chinese culture and empower teachers to tell the untold story of Chinese in the South alongside their students. This workshop will be held at the Integrated Health Sciences Building at the University of Central Arkansas. The workshop is FREE for up to 20 teachers and includes the following benefits: Complementary registration to UCA’s 2-day workshop on Chinese American Histories of the South (a $30 value) 6 hours PD Credit Catered lunch Two free books from the ARNCTA library Access to digital tools for teaching Chinese American History in the South Priority registration for future ARNCTA workshops
