Newest Oregon Humanities magazine feature underground stories

You can read all the stories from Underground on our website<https://oregonhumanities.org/rll/magazine/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Winter%202023%20-%20Underground&utm_content=Winter%202023%20-%20Underground+CID_6e086f3361f395cea3193ee5736647b6&utm_source=Email%20marketing%20software&utm_term=The%20cover%20of%20the%20Summer%20issue%20of%20Oregon%20Humanities%20magazine>.

NAI Webiner: Ethical Interpreation of History, Jan. 26
Ethical Interpretation of History
Shawn Halifax
January 26, 2023, Thursday
10a Pacific/1p Eastern (90 Minutes)
$45 members/$60 non-members
Register Here<https://www.interpnet.com/NAI/nai/_certification/registration/Webinar_Display.aspx?EventKey=ZOOM121322>

Be introduced to the pillars of ethical history interpretation. This approach to interpretation collaborates with those whose history is suppressed and misrepresented and integrates their stories into corrective narratives that reveal people holistically, while being empathetic to learners—connecting them to past, present, and future conditions, and providing frontline history workers the highest support.

Shawn Halifax is Executive Director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House. He previously led public history efforts at McLeod Plantation Historic, one of only two plantation museums founded to interpret slavery and its legacies. He is lead facilitator of the Smithsonian’s NMAAHC’s Ethical Interpretation workshop.
