Teaching History in the 21^st Century

May 5–6, 2017

Call For Proposals - Submissions Due January 31, 2017

 

The Teaching History Conference began in 2015 as a way to bring scholars and practitioners across the K–16 continuum together to discuss history education. More than 150 participants from five different countries—including K–12 teachers, university and college professors, graduate students, and education researchers—began a collaborative dialogue on the unique challenges and opportunities faced by history educators at all levels.

 

This year, the Teaching History Conference will continue and expand on this conversation by considering history education in the twenty-first century, and the ways in which history can respond to our current moment. We conceive of this theme as inclusive of—but not limited to—teaching history in a digital context, and we encourage submissions that consider contemporary issues beyond the digital.

 

We invite proposals for panels, individual papers, seminars, and workshops that explore topics particular to contemporary classrooms.

 

Conference Hosts: UC Berkeley History–Social Science Project, UC Berkeley Department of History, UC Berkeley History Graduate Student Pedagogy Group, and the D-Lab at UC Berkeley

 

Conference Partners: American Historical Association, The International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in History, Bay Area Council for the Social Studies, California History-Social Science Project, and Facing History and Ourselves - Bay Area. Additional partners will be updated as confirmed.
