The Localized History Project: Youth Driven Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander History Curriculum for New York State 

In this workshop, youth researchers will share their community archive of lesson plans, oral stories, interviews, and teacher guides, that seek to produce a liberatory curriculum for New York State that uplifts Asian American histories as told by local communities. The goal of the Localized History archive is to challenge who counts as historians and what counts as history. During the session, participants will be given toolkits on how to record community histories in their own neighborhoods, and if they are teachers, be given a chance to discuss how they might bring this archive or archival work into the classroom. By the end of the session, participants will produce next steps on how to engage with localized Asian American history in their communities, and how they might uplift it in K-16 spaces.
