Introduction to Michael B. Katz 2015 SSHA Memorial Session
I first met Michael Katz on a clear, cool autumn afternoon in 1970. I was an uncertain first-year graduate student at the University of Toronto intending to complete a doctorate in British history with a project on antisocialism. Feeling confused, anxious, and unsatisfied by my courses, I began to share my concerns with fellow students. One of them, who became a lifelong friend (and editor), suggested that I contact that “young professor up the s…
The “Problem” of Interdisciplinarity in Theory, Practice, and History
Interdisciplinarity is among the most talked about but most misunderstood topics in education on all levels today. Seen as the savior of research and teaching, especially in universities, and of society, or the seeds of destruction, interdisciplinarity's proponents and critics talk past each other. Seldom do they seek common terms; typically, they mean very different approaches when they refer to interdisciplinarity. They erroneously dichotomize …

The Dallas Myth
This lively, frustrating book explicates and excoriates common myths that overshadow Dallas's complex, often-disturbing history. Citing an enormous variety of local sources he absorbed during many years spent documenting and teaching the city's history, the literary scholar Harvey J. Graff builds a plausible case that Dallas “is more prone” to distorting imagery than are other cities (pp. 24–25). Even among the Southwest's cities, famous for thei…

The Shock of the “‘New’ (Histories)”
At this meeting, we celebrate 25 years of the Social Science History Association, the SSHA.With appreciation from all of us, I acknowledge the achievements of our founders and our long-time members. We stand on their shoulders metaphorically and historically. We mark this anniversary with a plenary president's “founder’s session,” a variety of retrospective and prospective panels, and the conference theme “looking backward and looking forward.” W…
Interdisciplinary Explorations in the History of Children, Adolescents, and Youth-for the Past, Present, and Future
The course "Growing Up in America: Past, Present, Future" took shape over several years. Its inspiration and development reflect my scholarly and personal interests. The course also self-consciously and explicitly plays off current affairs. Especially compelling is the incessant cry that today the young have lost that special privilege, protection, and innocence that at least some young persons had, it is claimed, at some better time before the p…

Small Worlds
The 13 essays in Small Worlds treat children as active, influential participants in society. Here children and adolescents from the pre-Civil War generation to 1950 are seen as actors in their own right, shapers of their own history who not only mirror adult values, but also modify them. Editors Elliott West and Paula Petrik have organized the essays in Small Worlds around four topics: cultural and regional variations, toys and play, family life …

Patterns of Dependency and Child Development in the Mid-Nineteenth Century City
THE NATURE and state of the family has long been a major concern in the United States. It has been apparent in the literature and criticism since the Puritan arrival in the seventeenth century and may be followed thereafter. However, the family has not been a major concern of American historians. As Edward Saveth reminds us, in the 1962 Presidential Address of the American Historical Association, Carl Bridenbaugh spoke of the need for research in…

Literacy, Education, and Fertility, Past and Present
In this article I wish to reexamine the proposed relationships between education and literacy and fertility behavior and goals. I discuss both contemporary studies and those few historical attempts to specify and explain the nature of the relationship and the role of literacy and education in changing patterns of fertility. In so doing I offer a critical commentary on these studies and their results specifically seeking to elaborate how education…
