    Badass Women, Badass Stories: Strategies for Highlighting Local Women's History

    Send us a text Get ready for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation! In this special episode of the Teaching History Her Way Podcast, I’m joined by an incredible panel of educators—Karalee Wong Nakatsuka, Shannon Salter, Angela Lee, and Annie Evans—to discuss teaching women's history, particularly on the local level. Students seeing history in their own communities is incredibly powerful! We recorded this episode, in part, to build excitement for our upcoming presentation at the National Council of the Social Studies Conference in Boston on November 23, 2024. Together, we explore how educators can uncover and share the stories of everyday women whose actions shaped history, using digital tools and student-driven research to foster meaningful connections to the women closest to them geographically, genetically, or both.
