Led by Dr. David Aiona Chang and moderated by Dr. Katharine Gerbner\, this session will provide deep historical context\, source analysis\, and thematic framing.\n\n\nView Dr. David Aiona Chang’s Bio\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI am a Native Hawaiian historian of Indigenous people\, colonialism\, borders and migration in Hawaii and North America\, focusing especially on the histories of Native American and Native Hawaiian people. My work moves between hyperlocal and global scales while centering the perspectives and experiences of Indigenous people and integrating close textual analysis\, granular social history\, theoretically informed analysis of race\, gender\, sexuality and nationalism\, and Indigenous epistemologies and methodologies.   \n\n\n\nMy second book\, The World and All the Things Upon It: Native Hawaiian Geographies of Exploration was published in 2016 by the University of Minnesota Press. It speaks to a foundational imperative in Indigenous studies: the need to not just understand Indigenous people from their own perspectives\, but to understand the world from their perspectives as well. It traces the ways that Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) explored the outside world and generated understandings of their place in it in the century and half after James Cook stumbled on their islands in 1778. In doing so\, this book examines indigenous people as the active agents of global exploration\, rather than the passive objects of that exploration\, broadening our understanding of geographical knowledge production and power in the context of colonialism.  \n\n\n\nMy first book\, The Color of the Land\, argues for the central place of struggles over the ownership of Native American lands in the history of racial and national construction by Creeks\, African Americans\, and whites in the Creek Nation and eastern Oklahoma. The Color of the Land was awarded the 2010 Theodore Saloutos Prize for best book in agricultural history from the Agricultural History Society and was granted Honorable Mention in the competition for the American Studies Association’s 2011 Lora Romero First Book Prize.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll Content Sessions will be conducted via Zoom and a Minnesota Department of Education (MDE)-hosted Canvas learning community.

Examine a discipline-specific question and how it supports deeper inquiry and critical thinking. We will consider strengthening both teacher questioning and supports for developing student questioning in the inquiry process\, as well. \nThe Minnesota Department of Education in partnership with the Minnesota Humanities Center will host virtual and in-person sessions to support planning for and implementation of the 2021 K-12 Academic Standards in Social Studies monthly during the 2025-26 school year. These monthly sessions are open to anyone with building or district-level responsibilities for curriculum planning and development in all social studies content areas\, including curriculum directors\, department leads\, and teachers. Pre-registration is required for in-person sessions. \nVirtual sessions will have content similar to in-person sessions\, and whenever possible will feature the same speakers. \nIn-person sessions will be an hour longer than virtual sessions and will allow time for supported collaborative work and networking. \nWhile districts are encouraged to have a representative at each monthly session\, either in-person or virtual\, participants do not need to commit to attending all nine sessions. Participants are also welcome to attend either session type throughout the year\, as is best suited to their needs and schedule. \nK-12 educators will receive 1 clock hour. \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: brittany.rawson-haeg@state.mn.us \nRegister Now URL:https://www.mnhum.org/event/online-building-questioning-across-the-social-studies-disciplines/ CATEGORIES:Free,K-12 Education,Online,Professional Development,Social Studies Curriculum Leaders Network ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.mnhum.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/event_social_studies_standards.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Sung Ja Shin":MAILTO:sungja@mnhum.org LOCATION:https://www.mnhum.org/event/online-building-questioning-across-the-social-studies-disciplines/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251007T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251007T173000 DTSTAMP:20260416T200408 CREATED:20250812T155623Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260217T171157Z UID:10000543-1759852800-1759858200@www.mnhum.org SUMMARY:Online Content Session - Era Two: Settler Colonialism and Atlantic Slavery DESCRIPTION:Dive into the development of the institution of slavery and multiple perspectives on European colonization and early American society. Led by Dr. David Aiona Chang and Dr. Katharine Gerbner\, this session will provide deep historical context\, source analysis\, and thematic framing. \n\n\nView Dr. David Aiona Chang’s Bio\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI am a Native Hawaiian historian of Indigenous people\, colonialism\, borders and migration in Hawaii and North America\, focusing especially on the histories of Native American and Native Hawaiian people. My work moves between hyperlocal and global scales while centering the perspectives and experiences of Indigenous people and integrating close textual analysis\, granular social history\, theoretically informed analysis of race\, gender\, sexuality and nationalism\, and Indigenous epistemologies and methodologies.   \n\n\n\nMy second book\, The World and All the Things Upon It: Native Hawaiian Geographies of Exploration was published in 2016 by the University of Minnesota Press. It speaks to a foundational imperative in Indigenous studies: the need to not just understand Indigenous people from their own perspectives\, but to understand the world from their perspectives as well. It traces the ways that Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) explored the outside world and generated understandings of their place in it in the century and half after James Cook stumbled on their islands in 1778. In doing so\, this book examines indigenous people as the active agents of global exploration\, rather than the passive objects of that exploration\, broadening our understanding of geographical knowledge production and power in the context of colonialism.  \n\n\n\nMy first book\, The Color of the Land\, argues for the central place of struggles over the ownership of Native American lands in the history of racial and national construction by Creeks\, African Americans\, and whites in the Creek Nation and eastern Oklahoma. The Color of the Land was awarded the 2010 Theodore Saloutos Prize for best book in agricultural history from the Agricultural History Society and was granted Honorable Mention in the competition for the American Studies Association’s 2011 Lora Romero First Book Prize.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nView Dr. Katharine Gerbner’s Bio\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy research explores the religious dimensions of race\, authority\, and freedom in the early modern Atlantic world. My book\, Christian Slavery: Conversion and Race in the Protestant Atlantic World (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 2018)\, shows how debates between slave-owners\, black Christians\, and missionaries transformed the practice of Protestantism and the language of race in the early modern Atlantic World. I am currently at work on a few different projects. One\, entitled “Constructing Religion\, Defining Crime\,” examines how some non-European religions—particularly those that were practiced under slavery—have been excluded from the category of religion and criminalized over the past three centuries. A related project investigates the religious and medical practices of enslaved Africans in the Caribbean\, paying particular attention to obeah. I am interested in how Afro-Caribbean ideas about healing\, prayer\, and worship influenced the construction of European categories such as religion and medicine. I have also been working on an article about Missionaries and Maroons\, which takes a micro-historical look at how and why maroon leaders sought to create alliances with Christian missionaries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll Content Sessions will be conducted via Zoom and a Minnesota Department of Education (MDE)-hosted Canvas learning community. Each session’s lectures and discussions will be recorded and registered participants will receive access to the Canvas course with session recordings\, curated resources\, and collaborative planning tools. \n\nHigh school U.S. History teachers and 5th and 7th grade educators are invited to participate in companion Pedagogy Sessions. \n\nRegistration\nContent Sessions are open to all K–12 educators interested in historical content and source-based instruction.

Her 2014 book My Grandfather’s Knocking Sticks: Ojibwe Family Life and Labor on the Reservation won the American Indian Book Award and the Best Book in Midwestern History. Child’s book for children\, Bowwow Powwow (2018)\, won the American Indian Youth Literature Award for best picture book. \n\n Child served as a member of the board of trustees of the National Museum of the American Indian-Smithsonian and was President (2017-2018) of the Native American & Indigenous Studies Association.
