History, Social Science, and the Humanities: Working in Classrooms and Communities
Welcome to the third annual H-Net Teaching Conference! This remote Zoom conference is sponsored by H-Teach. This year’s theme, “History, Social Science, and the Humanities: Working in Classrooms and Communities,” places emphasis on community building of all kinds, from cultivating educational communities within public history venues to preserving inclusive classrooms in K-16 pedagogy. Presenters from a wide array of disciplines will share their strategies and expertise on topics like artificial intelligence, building innovative digital projects, the relationship between the academy and local communities, and more. The conference will also include several roundtable discussions, featuring organizations like WikiEducation, the Organization of American Historians (OAH), and the LEADR Digital Lab at Michigan State University.
Conference Date: August 19th – 22nd
Our keynote speaker, Dr. Steven Mintz, will give a talk titled “History from the Bottom Up: How the History of Childhood is Radically Reshaping Our Understanding of Agency, Identity Construction, Psychological Disorders, Colonialism, State Formation, and the Dynamics of Cultural Change.” Mintz is a former H-Net president and currently a professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
