Drs. Nancy Beck Young and Leandra Zarnow are part of a research team that has released a new module in the American Historical Review. Solicited by the editor, it features the Sharing Stories from 1977 project as a multimedia module. This publication highlights their project’s innovative
philosophy and design, its scholarly interventions, and lesson plans using the site.
The Sharing Stories from 1977 project offers teachers an innovative way to introduce tools of digital humanities
scholarship into the classroom. The collective project recovers the previously understudied
1977 Women’s Conference in Houston, Texas through the methodology of big biography. See,
