LCAH Public History Project

The Lehman Center Public History Project provides financial and professional assistance to graduate students interested in bringing history to a broader public. The Public History Project encourages public-facing history projects that address major topics through research, writing, and digital scholarship, and which target a broad and diverse audience.

This year, our Public History fellows were Megan Buiocchi, Lorna Kimaiyo, Stephanie Reitzig, Victoria Dadet, and Autumn Galindo. This year's workshop focused on developing a high school lesson plan on a topic of New York City that will be made available to high school teachers in the New York area. The workshop explored aspects of curricular design.
