Classes

Dr. Bethany Jay, professor of history at Salem State University once again collaborated with Lindsay

Randall to run a graduate class Preserving the Past: Using Archaeology to Teach History. The class focused on the late 19th century and the African American experience. Throughout the five day class, Lindsay modeled material culture based lessons that highlight the histories present during that period and engaged historical literacy skills. The class was held remotely.

Lindsay Randall brought the History 300 lesson Trail of Tears to Dr. Bethany Jay’s undergraduate seminar class in American History at Salem State University. During the activity, students explored the complex history of Cherokee Removal. On another visit, Dr. Jay’s students worked with Lindsay to understand the complex native history of Essex County. These classes were held remotely.

Lisa Herzl, Department head of History and Social Studies, at Triton Regional High school utilized the online lesson Trade Connections.
