New-York Historical Society

The New-York Historical Society offers comprehensive educational initiatives including the Student Historian Internship Program, which provides high school students with hands-on museum experience through a five-week intensive program featuring research and curatorial work. The institution provides free citizenship preparation classes through The Citizenship Project, utilizing museum collections to help permanent residents prepare for the U.S. naturalization exam. Working alongside the society, Intelligent Television produces innovative educational content and films, notably contributing to the "Women Have Always Worked" course materials. Nick Juravich, who serves as an Assistant Professor of History and Labor Studies at UMass Boston and Associate Director of the Labor Resource Center, brings expertise in labor studies, public history, and education to his teaching. His courses cover labor and working-class history, public history, public memory, the history of public schooling, and the history of Greater Boston. Before his current position, Juravich was the Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Women's History at the New-York Historical Society, where he curated exhibitions and developed educational workshops focusing on school segregation and movements for educational equality in New York City. His work includes contributions to various projects such as the Harlem Education History Project, the East of East project, and the Women and the American Story curriculum guide, demonstrating his commitment to making historical education accessible and engaging for diverse audiences.
