Untangling the Web of Historical Thinking

My recent work in the scholarship of teaching and learning has focused on using digital tools to facilitate historical thinking.  For details, please see the website for an NEH funded project I am working on with Ali Erkan of the Department of Computer Science.

New Book

Citizenship Across the Curriculum

Indiana University Press (2010)

Edited by Michael B. Smith, Rebecca S. Nowacek,
and Jeffrey L. Bernstein
Foreword by Pat Hutchings and Mary Taylor Huber

“As Americans flock to college in record numbers, higher education has an unprecedented opportunity to help a new majority of Americans achieve the knowledge and determination to redeem the full promise of democracy—for liberty, justice, equal dignity, and the quality of our shared futures. Citizenship Across the Curriculum provides rich guidance for faculty members on what it means to take these responsibilities seriously—both at the level of educational mission and in the day-to-day translation of civic challenges into discipline-based courses and assignments. I would love to make this volume required reading for all faculty, starting with those who teach our graduate students.”
