What Historians Should Know About Classical Education

What Historians Should Know About Classical Education
AHA Learn
Wednesday, April 15

Classical education has inspired many recent reforms and innovations in K-12 education and beyond. What is it, and why should historians care? Presenters approaching the topic with different perspectives and expertise offered information and insights on the past, present, and possible futures of the U.S. movement, and how it has already impacted the landscape of K-12 and higher education.

Moderated by Johann Neem (Western Washington Univ.) and featuring Angel Parham (Univ. of Virginia), Jessica Richardi (Coastal Carolina Univ.), and Susan Wise Bauer (Well-Trained Mind Learning Services), this hour-long online event was free and open to the public. This event grew out of a session at AHA26, and you can read more about that conversation in Perspectives.
