Focus on Immigration and Food

I'm thrilled to have been selected, along with 24 other educators, to participate in the three-week seminar "Recipe for America: New York, Immigration and American Identity through Food Culture. " The Institute is organized by The New York Public Library and funded through the National Endowment for the Humanities.  We will be looking at the lives of 19th and 20th century immigrants through lectures, readings, pictures, menus, and other resources in the NYPL's collection.  I plan to share resources and ideas with my teacher colleagues teaching immigration.
