A Diasporic Classroom: Teaching with Stories, Archives, and Culture
Join a one-day educator institute exploring diasporic histories and identities through panels and workshops that engage with primary sources
Join us for a full-day educator institute presented by NYPL’s Center for Educators and Schools in partnership with CENTRO (The Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College).
This gathering invites educators to explore how diasporic histories, identities, and cultural expression can shape classroom practice. Through panels, interactive sessions, and hands-on workshops, participants will engage with archives, primary sources, literature, music, and creative publishing practices that illuminate diasporic experiences across Latin America and beyond, with several sessions drawing on Puerto Rican case studies.
Together we will consider how migration, memory, language, and culture shape the experiences of students and communities—and how educators can bring these perspectives into the classroom.
Participants will leave with practical strategies, classroom-ready resources, and connections to NYPL and CENTRO collections, staff, and educational programs.
