Jenice L. ViewJenice L. View is an Associate Professor Emerita at George Mason University. Her work has included the critical teaching and learning of history, critical teacher professional development, and uses of arts integration. Her 15-year academic career followed nearly 20 years in the non-governmental sector at the local and national levels, and a stint as a middle school humanities teacher. One ongoing action research project “Learning Historic Places with Diverse Populations,” explores how place-based learning and history education can help Students of Color reclaim their connection with historic sites. Her curriculum design and teacher professional development work in Mississippi to teach the civil rights movement has impacted teachers and students statewide and in 14 school districts in particular. Another ongoing research project includes Examining the Trajectories of Black Mathematics Teachers: Learning From the Past, Drawing on the Present, and Defining Goals for the Future, a three- year study funded by the National Science Foundation, that includes collecting oral histories of retired Black mathematics teachers. Another exploration examines the impact of oral history collection on high schoolers’ understanding of historical content, and teachers’ experiences of teaching Black history.
