The Curriculum Theory Project (CTP) is arranging our traditional Lunch and Learn session for fall 2025. This time, we will dive into the fascinating world of Oral History with insights from our very own early childhood specialist, Dr. Jennifer Baumgartner. Dr. Baumgartner has been engaged in collecting and preserving oral history data for many years. She is a Professor of Early Childhood at Louisiana State University, and her research focuses on teacher well-being and amplifying educators’ voices, including through the Louisiana Early Childhood Teacher Oral History Project.

Join us for this engaging conversation as Dr. Baumgartner shares her expertise and experience in oral history methods and learn how these approaches enrich our understanding of Oral History and Early Childhood Education and beyond.
