NYSCSS Human Rights Committee Book Club Tuesday, June 9, 2026 7:00-8:00 PM
If you’re interested in going deeper into the history of the Ukraine War, the Human Rights Committee is hosting a Virtual Book Club meeting. You don’t need to attend the webinar to attend the book club. We will be reading Anne Applebaum’s Red Famine: Stalin's War on Ukraine. We will discuss the book, focus on Ukraine and the historical connection between past and present human rights violations, and share ideas on how to incorporate it into your classroom. Please note, the meeting will take place via Zoom and all participants are expected to obtain a copy of the book on their own. A CTLE certificate for 1 hour will be available at the conclusion of the book club meeting. Register for the Book Club here. Sponsored by the NYSCSS Human Rights Committee Show your Support for Social Studies at the Elementary Level! Thank you for making our 88th Annual Convention a success! Look for highlights in our March and April newsletters in our Member Resources section of the website. |
