Developed by Casandra Silva Sibilin, York College

This teaching material was developed as a result of the CUNY 1969 Teach-in & Retreat that took place in Summer 2023. The assignment asks students to explore the CUNY 1969 website in search of philosophical and timeless issues and choose a page or primary source to analyze and represent with a visualization.
