How should we educate people to become history and social studies teachers? In confronting controversies about the United States’ past in the K-12 and higher education curricula, what input should historians and educationists have? Panelists will discuss the ways that history departments and education departments/schools can collaborate on issues like methods coursework, engaging communities through public projects, and shared research agendas in the history of education. The contributors will consider how to meet the challenges of today together, and what it would take for us to emerge stronger from the current crucible.
