Teaching and Learning at AHA22
The AHA is committed to making the annual meeting a professional home for working teachers. That’s why our annual meeting program offers dozens of workshops, networking opportunities, and sessions for educators at all levels and at every stage of their careers. Use this guide to navigate the full spread of teaching events and topical sessions at AHA22.
Opportunities this year include sessions drawn from the AHA’s work on History Gateways and Career Diversity for Historians, panels on lessons learned from the pandemic, assignment and syllabus design workshops, sessions on approaches to digital pedagogy, and more.
Whether attendees are looking to incorporate new sources and methods into their teaching or to continue to develop their teaching as an expression of disciplinary identity—or both—there are sessions for teachers of all levels at AHA22.
