Title: Making the American Syllabus: Hashtag Syllabi in Historical Perspective

URL: http://www.aaihs.org/making-the-american-syllabus-hashtag-syllabi-in-historical-perspective/

Description: Hashtag syllabi such as #FergusonSyllabus and #CharlestonSyllabus assemble critical intellectual resources and promote collective study both within and outside of the academy during this moment of heightened racial tension. The intellectual intervention of these resource lists, primarily initiated by African American scholar-activists, is necessitated by the systemic deficiency of racially inclusive content in America’s public school and university curricula. This effort to identify racially-centered intellectual resources in 2014 is an extension of self-education practices that African Americans have pursued for more than a century.
