Fall 2025 Special Collections Coursework Development Grant
UNT Special Collections is excited to announce the recipient of our Fall 2025 Coursework Development Grant - Dr. ToniAnn D. Treviño, Assistant Professor, Department of History.
Dr.Treviño (she/her) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the University of North Texas, where she also serves as Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies. A scholar of Latine history, she teaches courses in Mexican American history, twentieth-century U.S. history, and historical methods for undergraduate students. Dr. Treviño is committed to engaged pedagogy, designing undergraduate and graduate courses that provide students with hands-on experiences while encouraging them to explore the relevance of history in their everyday lives.
With support from UNT Special Collections, Dr. Treviño will redesign HIST 3000: The Historian’s Craft, an undergraduate course on historical methodologies, to center community-engaged teaching, hands-on archival experience, and applied humanities. Students will investigate the rich history of social movements in the Denton-Dallas-Fort Worth region through sustained engagement with primary source materials housed in UNT Special Collections. Working directly with UNT student demonstration posters, historical student newspapers, and UNT’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Archives, students will develop hands-on expertise in archival research methodologies while uncovering previously underexplored narratives of local activism and social change.
Congratulations, Dr. Treviño! Special Collections staff is excited to work with you and your students this fall!
The UNT Special Collections Coursework Development Grant is supported by the Toulouse Archival Research Program Endowment.
