The field of public history is growing as college and university
history departments seek to recruit and retain students by
emphasizing how studying the past can sharpens their skills and
broaden their career options. But faculty have often sought to
increase course offerings without knowing exactly what the teaching
and practice of public history entails. Public historians have
debated the meanings of public history since the 1970s, but as more
students take public history courses and more scholars are tasked
with teaching these classes, the lack of pedagogical literature
specific to the field has been challenging. This book addresses the
need for a practical guide to teaching public history now. In
twelve essays by esteemed public historians teaching at colleges
and universities across the United States, this volume details
class meetings, student interactions, field trips, group projects,
grading, and the larger aims of a course. Each essay contains
wisdom and experience for how to teach a public history course and
why such classes are vital for our students and communities.
Contributors include: Thomas Cauvin, Kristen Baldwin Deathridge,
Jennifer Dickey, Torren Gatson, Abigail Gautreau, Romeo Guzman, Jim
McGrath, Patricia Mooney-Melvin, Lindsey Passenger Wieck, and
Rebecca S. Wingo.
