Schooling in the Antebellum South
Hyde has produced a well-researched and clearly written history of education and schooling in the Gulf States before the Civil War. Too often, she claims, scholars have overlooked the extent to which southerners valued education. By 1860, the three Gulf States had mandated state systems of public schools for white children, reflecting a wider regional commitment to intellectual improvement. Schooling in the Antebellum South argues that, contrary …
Richard A. Meckel. Classrooms and Clinics
In the early decades of the twentieth century, numerous citizens believed that public schools could play a major role in improving the lives of children. In many cities, labor unions, middle-class women's clubs, parent-teacher organizations, and other voluntary groups actively supported raising taxes to enhance local schools. John Dewey became world famous for his philosophical inquiries into the role of education in a democratic society. Psychol…
School, Society, and State
During the first half of the twentieth century, America's public schools became an integral part of the emerging welfare state, so argues Tracy L. Steffes in a compelling history of the changing role of schools in an era of far-reaching change. Compared to those of most Western nations, public schools in the United States between 1890 and 1940 were very decentralized. Originally established by individual states rather than federal authority, scho…
Next-Gen Ethnographic Practice
Session 1
Time, budget, and resource pressures will impact ethnographic work into the foreseeable future. As "de-skilling" threatens ethnography-disrupting an integrated, holistic approach and output-we must seek new work practices. We have advocated and implemented an explicitly integrative model of collaborative practice, which interconnects the knowledge domains within a cross-disciplinary team to generate effective, powerful insights. This model, which…

The Chosen
Jerome Karabel's engaging history of undergraduate admissions at the “big three”— Harvard, Yale, and Princeton—persuasively explains how academic leaders at these prestigious universities redefined merit over the course of the twentieth century. Faced with many-sided demands for a more inclusive student body after World War II, they ultimately responded by enrolling more public school graduates, Jews, African Americans, women, and members of othe…

The Origins of Progressive Education
By the dawn of the twentieth century, a new way of thinking about the nature of the child, classroom methods, and the purposes of the school increasingly dominated educational discourse. Something loosely called progressive education, especially its more child-centered aspects, became part of a larger revolt against the formalism of the schools and an assault on tradition. Our finest scholars, such as Lawrence A. Cremin, in his magisterial study …

This engrossing book tells the story of American high schools in the nineteenth century.

American Socialist Pedagogy and Experimentation in the Progressive Era
Described by one unsympathetic observer in Buffalo as Schools of Nonsense and by one ardent participant in Milwaukee as rebel factories, the movement to establish Socialist Sunday schools (S.S.S.) in the United States during the early twentieth century is perhaps one of the best kept secrets of American socialist and educational historiography.'

While the most influential interpretations of the past decade differ somewhat in intent and emphasis, they all emphasize the essential elitism, conservatism, and importance of various school reforms enacted in the early twentieth century.
