CAS-100 Summer Public History Institute
Through historical site visits, small group discussions, and behind-the-scenes museum tours, we'll consider Boston's Revolutionary legacy, and the role we all play in ensuring America's ongoing journey toward freedom, equality, and liberty for all. Guided by expert history and art & design faculty, students will learn valuable skills in historical research, museum studies, and digital interpretation. Their studies will culminate in the creation of individualized digital exhibits using their very own Meta Quest unit, a cutting-edge virtual reality technology, which each student will get to keep " During the program, students will gain hands-on, unparalleled access to some of the Boston area's most celebrated museums and historic sites, including the Freedom Trail, Revolutionary Spaces, Old North Church, the John F. Kennedy Library, and historic archaeological and building sites related to African American History and the Salem witchcraft trials. You'll also network with Suffolk University alumni who have built careers leading the area's cultural institutions.
