<div dir="ltr">Thanks to Evelyn and to you, Chikako, for being there (though I am really sorry I missed you!). <div><br></div><div>And thanks are due to SEHE for supporting several educators' panels and convenings through our NEH grant (the one from last year). The K-16 session and affinity group convening for teachers interested in environmental justice and ethnic studies curriculum had terrific attendance and engagement. Teachers were very interested in creating pathways between K-12 and our new SEHE department, and especially in finding ways to share knowledge of local resources for Ethnic Studies curriculum. Unlike the convening in the fall that we held with many community college faculty in attendance, this time the focus was on building curriculum and creating alliances for localizing how we teach across the board. Very soon I will share with you lesson plans created by high school teachers on issues of logistics, land use, and more. We plan to meet over the summer with Riverside County Office of Education, teachers and teacher trainers to do more, and I'll be sending out a plea after the quarter is over for accessible EJ and public-health related primary and secondary source materials to share with teachers.</div><div><br></div><div>The conference got some radio/KVCR coverage, too, <a href="https://www.kvcrnews.org/local-news/2024-06-04/conference-unites-historians-storytellers-to-showcase-overlooked-inland-empire-history">which is here</a>.<br><div><br></div><div>I am so grateful to SEHE!!</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Cathy<br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jun 4, 2024 at 12:10 PM Chikako Takeshita via Sehefac <<a href="mailto:sehefac@lists.ucr.edu">sehefac@lists.ucr.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I want to congratulate Cathy on the I.E.
