Whitlock, Annie McMahon; Brugar, Kristy A. – History Teacher, 2022

Baker, H. Robert; Lewis, Gregory B. – History Teacher, 2020
How do history students fare in the job market? This is a pressing question these days, as history departments (along with others in the humanities) suffer declining enrollments and increased administrative and political pressure to justify their existence. As universities increasingly focus on the college-to-career transition, departments whose…

In 1912, the state forcibly evicted Malaga's residents and committed eight to the Maine School for the Feebleminded. The state and the press branded this cruel tragedy a triumph and their interpretation was…

Malley, Muadth – History Teacher, 2018

Historians of American foreign relations are continuing to expand the ways in which they approach the Cold War. The range of perspectives has evolved thanks to the influence of emerging fields and new emphases in history.

DeBrincat, Dominic – History Teacher, 2015
This article explores what it means for history students to be "wrong" in the classroom, and the important role that error plays in teaching and learning.
