Throughout the year, the AHA hosts many online events for both members and the public. These events bring together scholars to discuss history and current events, hash out issues of professional development at every career stage, exchange teaching resources and strategies, and develop networks of historians doing similar kinds of work. Many of the sessions are recorded and made available as resources for members.

AHA staff continues to gather information about what historians would like to see available online. We welcome all suggestions by email to ahaonline@historians.org, but cannot guarantee implementation: many good, creative ideas are just not possible given limitations of cost, staffing, and technology. What we can do is to welcome and consider opportunities to increase access to conversation, collaboration, communication, and community. If you would like to organize an event with the AHA, you can find information about our prosal process here.

Upcoming Events

Teaching with Historiography: A Curriculum-Design Workshop
AHA Learn
Wednesday, May 8, from 4 to 6 p.m.

This webinar welcomes historians and high school or college history educators who are interested in helping their students understand and engage historiography. Using their recent publication in the American Historical Review as a launching point, the panelists will share their methods for designing curricular materials, or historiography-based inquiries. These inquiries support student historiographic thinking and bring rich historiographic discourse into classrooms.

This event features Agnieszka Aya Marczyk (Yale Univ.), Abby Reisman (Univ. of Pennsylvania), and Brenda Santos (Brown Univ.).

This online event is free and open to the public. To attend, register here. This event will not be recorded.

The Wikipedia Assignment: How Students Are Making History by Writing about the Past
AHA Learn
Thursday, May 23, 2 p.m. ET

How we consume, produce, and share information is rapidly changing, and pedagogical praxes need to evolve in order to meet these new challenges. Join us in this round table where you’ll hear from four historians who have adopted open pedagogical practice into their curricula by incorporating Wikipedia assignments into their courses. We’ll explore the role Wikipedia can play in tackling many of the challenges facing Humanities education today, and how you can integrate this pedagogical activity into your own teaching.

Moderated by Helaine Blumenthal (Wiki Education), this event features David-James Gonzales, Shira Klein (Chapman Univ.), David Sartorius (Univ. of Maryland), and Heather J. Sharkey (Univ. of Pennsylvania).

This online event is free and open to the public. To attend, register here. Can’t make it? Sign up anyway and view the recording on the AHA's YouTube channel after the event.

Ongoing: Washington History Seminar
Mondays, 4 p.m. ET (unless otherwise noted)
