Making Queer History Public Episode 4: Realities of Teaching LGBTQ+ History with ASHP’s Summer Institute Participants

This episode of Making Queer History Public features interviews conducted in late 2024 with educators Kennita Ballard and Julian Shaefer, who attended ASHP’s LGBTQ+ Histories of the United States NEH-funded institutes during the Summers of 2022 and 2024 (respectively). Hosted by veteran educator and PhD student in history, Rachel Pitkin, the episode takes a deep dive into how their experience teaching LGBTQ+ topics squares with both public rhetoric and major findings from The American Historical Association’s American Lesson Plan: Teaching U.S. History in Secondary Schools report, and the impact of ASHP’s NEH-funded LGBTQ+ Histories of the United States summer institute for teachers.
