Event Description

We Want More History! What It Is and How You Can Get Involved
AHA Online
Thursday, July 9, 3–4 p.m. ET

Join us for an informational webinar about We Want More History!, a coordinated national weekend of place-based history programming that will bring communities together in libraries, parks, museums, historic sites, classrooms, and other public spaces across the country.

Learn about the goals of the initiative, how organizations and individuals can participate, and how historians can help create a shared national moment that demonstrates the public’s appetite for history and historical thinking.

Moderated by Sarah Weicksel (American Historical Assn.) and featuring Greg Downs (Univ. of California, Davis), Kate Masur (Northwestern Univ.), and Thaïsa Way (Univ. of British Columbia), this online event is free and open to the public. To attend, register here. Can’t make it? Sign up anyway and view a recording of the presentation portion of the webinar on the AHA’s YouTube channel after the event. The live Q&A session will not be recorded.
