Humanities in Action Series – with a Fall Focus on Current Events Surrounding History Education, Misinformation v. Truth, Critical Race Theory, & More!

Join our umbrella organization, Carolina Public Humanities, for a fall series focused on the currently politicized topics of history education, misinformation v. truth, facts about Critical Race Theory, and more. While these lectures are designed for the general public, and do not include the pedagogical component that Carolina K-12 events contain, these lectures may still contain information of interest to K-12 educators.

Currently practicing K-12 teachers, as well as pre-service teachers enrolled in an education program, can REGISTER HERE for FREE virtual attendance.  (General public participants must register via the public registration site, as these are fee-based for anyone not classified as a pre-service or K-12 teacher.)

Programs in this series include:

  • Our Misperceptions of Misinformation and Public Understanding of Science | Sept. 29
  • Seeking Truth in an Age of Distortion: Navigating America’s “Epistemological Crisis” | Oct. 6
  • Social Media and Democracy | Oct. 13
  • Critical Race Theory and the Law | Oct. 20
  • Teaching “Hard History” in K-12 Education: From Politicization to Reconciliation (featuring Christie Norris, Director of Carolina K-12) | Oct. 27

Register for each program HERE.

Cancellation for Carolina K-12 Trainings

Carolina K-12 is dedicated to assisting teachers by providing free trainings, materials, participant meals, etc. Carolina K-12 does not require a deposit or fee to attend our trainings; therefore, we ask that registered participants needing to cancel do so at least one week prior to the training date. Please understand that participants who do not cancel their spot in a timely fashion prevent teachers on the waiting list from participating.

In addition to the free teacher trainings offered by Carolina K-12, educators can also register to attend an Adventures in Ideas seminar offered by Carolina Public Humanities (CPH). While these lectures are designed for a general audience and will not include pedagogical training, they are an excellent way for teachers to broaden their content knowledge in various subjects as life-long-learners.
