I Never Saw as Good a Nature Show Before”: Walt Disney, Environmental Education, and the True-Life Adventures
Alongside Walt Disney's animated movies, television programming, and theme parks, scholars have examined The Walt Disney Studios’ True-Life Adventures series of live-action nature documentary films for their impact on popular culture. Historians, however, have mostly overlooked the significance of the True-Life Adventures for student learning about the natural world. Amending this historiographical shortcoming, this essay examines Disney's innova…
Patriotic Education in a Global Age: A brief introduction
A New Global Ethic»: A History of the United Nations International Environmental Education Program, 1975-1995
In 1975, the United Nations, under the auspices of its Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and Environment Program (UNEP), established the International Environmental Education Program (IEEP). For two decades, IEEP aimed to accomplish goals ascribed to it by UNESCO member states and fostered communication across the international community through Connect, the UNESCO-UNEP environmental education newsletter. After reviewing …
A Vital, Free, Independent, and Lay Republic
The Cold War Politicization of Literacy: Communism, Unesco, and the World Bank
In 1947, officials at the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) established an unprecedented, worldwide literacy program. Simultaneously, however, officials at the World Bank refused to support educational programming, arguing that education-related projects could not guarantee a return on Bank investments. In 1962, however, World Bank lending policies began to shift. Lending for primary education increased fr…
Treason in the textbooks”: Reinterpreting the Harold Rugg textbook controversy in the context of wartime schooling
For most educational historians, the Harold Rugg textbook controversy serves as an example of the mid‐twentieth‐century “assault” on progressive education. By restricting their analyses of the textbook controversy to the “rise and fall” of the progressivism paradigm, however, scholars have generally missed Americans’ more measured approach to the public school curriculum during World War II. That conservative opponents succeeded in having Rugg’s …
A Woman's World”: The University of California, Berkeley, During the Second World War
The fairer sex takes over and the campus becomes a woman's world. They step in and fill the shoes of the departing men and they reveal a wealth of undiscovered ability. The fate of the A.S.U.C. [Associated Students of the University of California] and its activities rests in their hands and they assume the responsibility of their new tasks with sincerity and confidence. — Blue and Gold , University of California, Berkeley, 1943 During World War I…
Evaluating Democracy: The 1946 U.S. Education Mission to Germany
Following World War II, a group of American educators was assigned the task of evaluating the U.S. military government’s program for reconstructing Germany’s educational system. Although issuing a generally positive report, this education mission identified a number of persistent tensions that ultimately undermined America’s efforts to rehabilitate and reform German schooling. As with the American occupation of Germany during the postwar era, cur…
Promoting the “Public Welfare” in Wartime: Stanford University during World War II
As with many U.S. colleges and universities during World War II, Stanford University responded to the demands of mobilization by increasing its commitment to technical training and adopting a defense research agenda. In a striking departure from this national trend, however, Stanford also established its School of Humanities in 1942. By examining such seemingly disparate pursuits, this study reveals the complexity of the challenges that confronte…
I Had All Kinds of Kids in My Classes, and It Was Fine”: Public Schooling in Richmond, California, During World War II
I think it was pretty exciting [to teach] during the war. It was a challenge to say the least. And I don't think we thought much about it. We just went ahead and did it because here were all these children and you just go ahead and do your job ... . There were all kinds of kids all together ... and they didn't seem to fight or have a problem ... . I don't remember there being a problem with the kids of various races and so forth ... . We had prin…
