A Study in World War II - Chancellor’s Day Professional Development
The Intrepid Museum is pleased to present this rich, academic study of World War II with the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience at Florida State University. G. Kurt Piehler, associate professor and director of the Institute will present Men and Women at War: What Can Documents Tell Us? which will offer an overview of the experiences of combatants and civilians during World War II. The Intrepid Museum’s collection and story will be woven into this enriching day of historical discussion through a guided tour of Intrepid’s experience in the Pacific theater and workshops that focus on the bravery of the men who occupied what is known as Gun Tub 10 and how extraordinary stories can be told through historical artifacts.
Also joining the day are Edward J.K. Gitre, an assistant professor from Virginia Tech, who will present What the Soldier Thinks: Tapping the Crowd to Tell the Story of the American GI, an NEH-funded digital history project designed to give students an authentic and unparalleled perspective on war, the soldier’s experience, and modern American history; Benjamin Mack-Jackson, independent scholar, who will review how the World War II Veterans History Project is educating and inspiring the next generation to better understand and appreciate the sacrifices made by the Greatest Generation; and Alison Reilly, who will examine art and war through works from the Museum of Modern Art.
We recommend this professional development event to middle and high school teachers or those with a deep interest in this subject matter. Register now
