Subject: CONFERENCE: Teaching of History (Sept 97)
Teaching of History Conference
In Conjunction with the
World History Association of Texas
Fall Meeting
September 6, 1997
University of North Texas
Denton, Texas
Objectives/Theme
The Teaching of History Conference is intended primarily for those who
teach at the survey level in college and in grades four through twelve.
Speakers will emphasize course content, but they will also provide
bibliographies of the most important studies relative to their topics and
offer suggestions concerning teaching methods. Thus the conference's
objective is to offer a day of informative and stimulating presentations
and thereby aid in improving the teaching of history. The theme of the
1997 conference, "Revolutions," provides an opportunity to hear
outstanding scholars examine the causes and consequences of nine of the
most important events in the histories of China, Mexico, Africa, the
United States, and Texas. Speakers will include James I. Robertson Jr. on
the American Civil War, George C. Wright on the Civil Rights revolution,
Alwyn Barr on the Texas Revolution, Carl Moneyhon on Reconstruction,
William H. Beezley on the 1910 Mexican Revolution, Light T. Cummins on the
American Revolution, and others.
