The program supports a series of one-week residential, virtual, and combined format workshops across the nation that enhance how K-12 educators and higher education faculty and humanities professionals incorporate place-based approaches to humanities teaching and scholarship. Landmarks workshops situate the study of topics and themes in the humanities within sites, areas, or regions of historic and cultural significance to expand participants’ knowledge of and approaches to teaching diverse histories, cultures, and perspectives in the United States and its jurisdictions. Landmarks workshops:
- offer participants enhanced knowledge of content through humanistic inquiry, experiential learning, discussions, readings, lectures, meetings with community members, and multimedia presentations
- include place-based learning activities, such as visits to museums, libraries, archives, markers, sites, monuments, memorials, national parks, cultural organizations, historic homes and buildings, walking tours, and public performances
