On the Cover

We have all spent more time at home in the last 20 months than we ever imagined, leading historians to find ways to take history outside the box or classroom. Alexandra F. Levy describes how #HATM has created a community of historians chatting online about popular movies every Sunday night since 2018. During the pandemic, Rachel Mesch, Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall, and Annette Joseph-Gabriel created and adapted the “Teach Your Family” assignment as an inspired twist on the student presentation. Finally, Patrick Rael uses history-inspired board games to encourage his students to keep “Playing with the Past.”
