Susan B. Anthony and Reform in Rochester

Susan B. Anthony and Reform in Rochester

Gather with a small group of teachers from around the country for three days immersed in discussion and exploration of a single topic in American history. Multi-Day Seminars are a free opportunity for teachers hosted near an important historical site. Teachers will prepare ahead of time for seminars by reading selected historical documents in the provided course packet. Once the seminar begins, the discussion leader guides a peer-to-peer, text-based conversation among all participants. Meals, materials, double-occupancy rooms, and historical site visits are 100% covered by Teaching American History. At the end of each course, every teacher receives a letter of participation for fifteen contact hours of continuing education and a stipend of $600 to help defray travel costs.

Rochester and its nearby communities were home to many reform movements in the nineteenth- century, including the temperance, abolition, and women’s rights movements. Susan B. Anthony was at the center of them.   This seminar will examine the emergence of the women’s rights movement in the early nineteenth century and its relationship to the temperance and the abolition movements.
