Mellon Pedagogical Seminar: Teaching with the Shoah archive

In this Mellon session I’ll be talking about using video in the classroom – any classroom! - and some simple tools for engaging it in formal ways.

I’ll then go into depth in how I used the Shoah archive in my Provocative Witness: Cinema and Genocide, and share with you some strategies for creating a collaborative research community in the classroom and how to set up pedagogical structures that deeply engage the student in challenging material while dispersing some of what could be otherwise overwhelming material (facilitated by Marie Regan).
