New Collection Added to Social History for Every Classroom 

September 19, 2024

In spring 2024, Trystin Curbelo joined ASHP as an intern to work with researcher Carli Snyder on a new collection for our popular database, Social History for Every Classroom (SHEC). Carli and Trystin compiled primary sources and collaboratively wrote teaching activities, essential questions, and a background essay. The collection, Workers Behind Bars: The Exploitation of Incarcerated Labor, focuses on prison labor and the economic dimensions of mass incarceration in the United States from the 1880s to the present. Trystin, who graduated from Brooklyn College in May 2024, has begun his first year as a high school teacher and plans to incorporate the materials from the collection into his classroom. Please visit SHEC to see the new collection!
