Placed Based Partnering: Georgia
Welcome!
Welcome to Placed Based Partnering: Georgia
Placed Based Partnering: Georgia seeks to design systematic strategies to collect Georgia's histories, stories, and languages with youth and communities--particularly those at risk of erasure through prioritizing master narratives, marginalizing histories, or manipulation. We seek to ensure all resources identified or created are archived and open access for this and future generations. Finally, we seek to support Georgia educators, researchers, and community members in critically encountering and curricularizing the resources within Georgia classrooms and communities.

Georgia's Languages
Georgia was once home to the Muscogee, Cherokee, and Creek Nation and is still the home of the Lower Muscogee and Eastern Cherokee. It was colonized by James Oglethorpe for England in 1732. The colony, and later state, was active in the Transatlantic Slave Trade with most enslaved persons entering through Savannah, a port city. Today, Georgia is home to the busiest airport in the world, making it a popular destination for immigrants and home to one of the largest refugee communities in North America. These histories make the languages and stories of Georgia unique: from Muscogee to Appalachian mountain talk to Gullah Geechee, the histories and stories of Georgia are sustained through preserving Georgia's linguistic diversity.
