Public humanities’ emphasis on collaboration, storytelling, and community
encourages students to recognize their own knowledge and experiences as
valuable in a collective process of inquiry. This challenges traditionally
hierarchical power structures in the classroom and empowers students to become
more active leaders and learners. The members of this panel have all worked
with K-12 students and teachers in projects designed to expand public
engagement with the humanities. These collaborative partnerships between
post-secondary institutions and public schools enrich K-12 education by making
available unique archival and primary materials, highlighting the importance of
regional histories to student learning, and emphasizing the role that students’
own experiences can play in making education meaningful.
