Defining Purpose and Process in Teaching History with Case Studies
When the History of Education Quarterly editors invited us to contribute to this forum, they asked us to reflect on how we taught histoiy with case studies. To jump-start our exchange, they suggested four possible purposes for teaching history in this way, which I have paraphrased below: • To reflect on the antecedents of the so-called “new” educational policy topics (what is the long histoiy of standardized testing?). • To disrupt conventional b…
Shopping for Schools: How Public Education and Private Housing Shaped Suburban Connecticut
Suburban historians have generally neglected the role of schools as an explanatory factor in the transformation of twentieth-century U.S. metropolitan space, since public education does not fit neatly into their narrative. At the same time, educational historians have focused so intently on the rise and decline of big-city school systems that they have largely failed to account for suburbanization. This article seeks to bridge the gap by examinin…
Mapping Educational Opportunity: Spatial Analysis and School Choices
School Choice in Suburbia: Test Scores, Race, and Housing Markets
Home buyers exercise school choice when shopping for a private residence due to its location in a public school district or attendance area. In this quantitative study of one Connecticut suburban district, we measure the effect of elementary school test scores and racial composition on home buyers’ willingness to purchase single‐family homes over a 10‐year period, controlling for house and neighborhood characteristics. Overall, while both test sc…
Bridging the Gap between Urban, Suburban, and Educational History
This chapter seeks to bridge the historiographical gap between urban, suburban, and educational history by demonstrating how these works can inform one another. It highlights major books that have served as the foundations in each field over the past few decades, as well as the rising body of new scholarship that attempts to span the distance between them.
Making Sense of Multiple Interpretations
Some teaching innovations arise from a combination of good intentions, last-minute planning, and incredible luck. Colgate University hired me in late July 1997 as a visiting professor for the fall semester. As I scrambled to finish my dissertation and move my family, only a few days remained to pull together the syllabus for a course on Race and Education . I wanted to begin this contemporary course with an historical focus, delving into African-…
Teaching Brown: Reflections on Pedagogical Challenges and Opportunities: Introduction
These first-person reflective essays were written from our perspectives as educators who find it immensely rewarding, yet incredibly challenging, to teach about Brown vs Board of Education . Rarely do we address an issue in our classroom that is wrapped up in so many layers of racial meaning, people's lived experiences, ongoing policy debates, and historical mythology. Teaching Brown forces many of us to confront a number of dilemmas that have no…

That's When We Were Marching for Jobs: Black Teachers and the Early Civil Rights Movement in Milwaukee
“That's when we were marching for jobs ... They didn't even have the first black teacher then.” —Calvin Moody, Black politician, on Milwaukee civil rights activism in the 1940s The 1930s and 1940s pose a challenge to historians of the civil rights era, since these decades are still the “forgotten years.” Most accounts of the movement focus on the tumultuous events of the mid-1950s through the mid-1960s: the mass boycotts, sit-ins, and protest mar…
