  • Shared Histories

    E Casper, Steve Casper et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2013References: 1

    Town and gown”: the phrase typically evokes distinct communities in shared or contiguous space. Since the medieval origins of the university, these communities have often existed in tension, typically surrounding the different sorts of economic, social, and cultural capital they represent. Today, virtually every college and university exists within a community with histories of its own and organizations devoted to preserving and telling those his…

  • Pivotal Moments in the History Curriculum

    E Casper, S E CasperARTICLEJournal of American History2012

    Think like historians”: the phrase describes an objective of many college history curricula in an academic world where “learning outcomes” often begin with the acronym SWBAT (“Students Will Be Able To”). But what does “think like a historian” mean, and at which points in the curriculum do students encounter it most explicitly? As Lendol Calder has argued, the first-year survey course affords an opportunity for “uncoverage,” where we can “expose t…

  • More than the Sum of Its Parts

    S E CasperARTICLEJournal of American History2009

    Every history curriculum is historical artifact. It reflects changing notions within the discipline at large: the fields we value (or have valued at some point in the past), the geographical and chronological division of national and regional histories (as imagined currently or long ago), and perhaps the importance we place on methodological think ing, seminar-style teaching, and independent student research. It offers evidence also of department…

  • Starting Places

    S E CasperARTICLEJournal of American History2008

    Who are our students, and what and how do they think about history? Every teacher surely has his or her own answer, grounded in the institution and the place where she or he teaches. For the most part, our answers are probably impressionistic. Our sense of our students grows out of their insights in class, their writing, and our conversations with them and with our colleagues.
