The UNC Project on Historical Education will host a workshop for teachers on “Cross-Cultural Exchange in the Early Americas ,” led by Kathleen DuVal, an associate professor in the Department of History at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Dr. DuVal’s research and teaching focus on early America, particularly cross-cultural relations between Europeans and Indians in the North American borderlands. She explored these topics in her first book, The Native Ground: Indians and Colonists in the Heart of the Continent, published in 2007. She also teaches classes on cultural identities and race in early America, Spanish borderlands, the American colonial experience, and early nation-making in America. She will address many of these topics in the workshop.  

The event is co-sponsored by the School of Education, the Department of History and the North Carolina Museum of History. Free of charge. Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. Teachers can earn .5 CEU. Registration required.
