PHOENIX FLIES 2025 | Atlanta as the Classroom

Explore how universities are using metro Atlanta as a classroom! Two platforms in the Atlanta Studies Network, TeachingAtlanta.org and OpenWorld Atlanta, are collaborating to offer resources that connect students and the public to the city’s rich history and culture. TeachingAtlanta.org supports college and high school instructors who use Atlanta as a case study across disciplines, fostering connections between educators. OpenWorld Atlanta provides engaging interfaces to data extracted from historic maps, city directories, and archival collections. Working together, we are building resources that will showcase themes like the Atlanta Olympics, Sweet Auburn, climate change, housing, transportation, and LGBTQ history.
