Biography
Dr. Rose Fine-Meyer teaches in the Master of Teaching (MT) program at 萌妹社区, University of Toronto. Her research explores relationships between provincially sanctioned curricula, textbook narratives, place-based learning, and women鈥檚 history. She is the CCDL lead for Social studies and Indigenous education courses in the Masters of Teaching program. She developed an Interdisciplinary course for the province of Ontario (IDC4UI) where students study public & community history and take part in the development of a school archive. Her work was honoured with a Governor General award for Excellence in Teaching Canadian history (2007). Her current research explores the use of public history in history education. She has developed a public history & digital media graduate course (CTL5707) that supports students to create partnerships with public history institutions, archives and libraries, developing new projects that address inequalities in history education within public institutions.
