Last week I spent time with undergraduate students from Huron University College's history program.  As part of the "Documenting early residential schools" a SSHRC Partnership Engage project between Huron University College, the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre, and the Woodland Cultural Centre students were able to visit the Shingwauk site to learn about the early history and work with some of the archival records documenting the Shingwauk School.  In this episode I talk about the power of place based learning, experiential learning, and the role of archives in teaching history. I would love to hear your thoughts about experiential learning as a tool for teaching history. Leave a comment or send me a message on Twitter. Mentioned in this episode: -Hay T. Johnson, "Place-based learning and knowing: critical pedagogies grounded in Indigeneity" -Ryerson University, Best Practices in Experiential Learning

Since starting at the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre in 2010 I have worked with a lot of students and new professionals. Over time I've developed really strong feels about the important of building meaningful placement, co-op, and work experiences for students. This episode dives into student mentorship and the importance of creating skill building opportunities within the archival and public history profession.

In episode #220 of Talking Radical Radio (May 23, 2017), Scott Neigh speaks with Skylee-Storm Hogan and Krista McCracken.
