History and Social Studies teachers:
On Wednesday, April 23rd at 7:00pm, the library
will be hosting an Oregon Humanities Conversation Project Program entitled,
Toward One Oregon: Bridging Oregon’s Urban and Rural Communities. The
participants who attend the program will engage in a conversation about urban
and rural tensions in Oregon facilitated by Ethan Seltzer, professor of urban
studies and planning at Portland State University and Bruce Weber, professor of
agricultural and resource economics at Oregon State University. This would be a
great opportunity for your students to learn about the cultural, social and
political dynamics that divide our state.
There is more
information about the event on the Oregon
Humanities website and specific event info including the time and location
on the library’s
event calendar. Please feel free to share with any interested students!
