Bridging the Antietam: Memory, History, and Folklore of Communities Along the Antietam Creek
A
three-year faculty and curriculum development project on the history, culture,
and folklore of the Antietam Creek region.
Bridging
the Antietam, a project designed to boost student performance in composition
classes and produce curricula to support writing across the disciplines, will
focus on memory and its constructions as expressed through the folklore,
narratives, and interpretation of history of the Antietam Creek region (western
Maryland, south central Pennsylvania, and eastern West Virginia) Hagerstown
Community College (HCC) serves. Specific grant deliverables include faculty
professional development, a summer bridge program, revised humanities
curriculum, a summer institute, and a digital archive featuring local
"finds," to include oral history narratives.
