DETAILS
Join the Choices Program (Brown University) and the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (University of Colorado Boulder) as we present the student readings, lessons, and videos in the Choices curriculum unit The Vietnam War: Origins, History, and Legacies as a model for applying multiple perspectives to the study of the war. Learn about ways to implement the unit in a variety of courses. This curriculum unit examines the history of the U.S. war in Vietnam, overlaps with larger themes in East Asian history, and explores the war’s long-term legacies. The session will highlight primary sources and include some time to try out an abbreviated lesson.
