Notes:

***Open to all Honors students***Through this service-learning course, participants will become peer leaders for the new Anne Frank Center museum site and traveling exhibitions about Anne Frank and the Holocaust. The Center engages the field of teaching and learning about the Holocaust, encompassing historical content (through texts, film, and artifacts), methods of engagement (through pedagogy and museum studies), and the role of the visitor/learner (whose experiences, assumptions, and cultural contexts all come into play.) Students will learn about how museums contribute to and maintain public histories, allowing them to explore how we learn about and learn from the past, and how we make meaning from it for our lives today. Students will complete their service hours in the course, in part, through providing four guided tours of the exhibition during the semester. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be certified to serve as a peer leader at the Center until their graduation. **The class will meet at the Anne Frank Center located at 1731 College Street (in the glassed-in classroom at the rear of Barringer House)**
