Coming Soon at the Department of History

November 9, 2009

Goldberg Teaching Colloquium: Teaching World History

11:30 am to 1:00 pm (location: 168 Dulles Hall)

Contact: David Staley at staley.3@osu.edu

Although our approaches may be different, we can agree on a general framework for teaching the American or Western Civ surveys (the Civil War will be covered; the Ancient Greeks get at least one lecture). Is there a similar kind of framework for World History upon which we might all agree? The goal of this colloquium will be to develop a general outline we may all use to teach the world history survey.
