Yesterday our friends who teach sixth grade were asking: how do I talk to my students about the insurrection that just happened at the U.S. Capitol? Today on Twitter, I saw an editor from Black Perspectives urging historians of the Reconstruction to put yesterday’s events in historical perspective. Are there lessons from history? How did we get here? What
was that; what language should we use to talk about it? We’re working on acquiring new content to address these questions, but in the meantime, this previously published content puts a lot of what we saw yesterday in perspective and may help foster dialogue among students of the world. As always, the stories here and the underlying scholarship are free to all readers. We’ll be updating this syllabus and welcome suggestions.
Our 2020: it’s been a year to remember
Finding the good stuff to celebrate in 2020 might seem a tough challenge - like 2020 itself. It’s been a difficult year for our entire industry, and beyond. It’s been one of the most - if not the most - challenging years we’ve ever faced as a business. But there’s also a whole lot to be thankful for.
The way our team has rallied together to help each other, our clients, and the wider industry cope with the fallout that Covid-19 has brought upon us has been outstanding. In most markets, we’ve bounced back to be just as busy (or more) as we were this time last year.
