The Localized History Project is a New York State funded youth participatory action research project investigating the extent to which AANHPI history is taught in K-12 history classrooms in NY State, and presenting youth driven curriculum alternatives to test driven curricula. Localized History is committed to a community-centered approach, such that the eventual curriculum will be collectively built with intergenerational partners, inclusive of teachers, students, families, and community organizations.
