Suzanne L. Schulz: 2023 Junior Fellows Program Display Day

About

2023 Junior Fellow Suzanne L. Schulz worked with the Library's Professional Learning and Outreach Initiatives Office (PLOI) on the project, "Culturally Relevant Pedagogy with LC Digital Collections." Drawing on digital resources from loc.gov, Suzanne created teaching materials for the Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Teachers Network that highlight Library items focusing on African American artistic and intellectual movements that promoted sovereignty for Haiti before, during, and after the U.S. occupation (1915-1934). This set of sources featuring Haiti represents just one example of the efforts of African Americans to connect with colonized peoples abroad during this time. Guided by tenets of culturally relevant pedagogy, Suzanne's project highlighted the historical significance and wider interconnectedness of African American and Haitian communities whose contributions have been marginalized in textbooks, syllabi, and public discourse. Suzanne's suggested teaching activities invite students to explore the Library's digital collections for primary source-based stories of African Americans who shared arts and ideas about freedom, justice, and sovereignty across borders. Suzanne believes that teaching with primary sources aligns well with culturally relevant pedagogy, an approach that respects students' unique knowledge, experience, and skills.
