Journal of History and Ideas

January & February 2020 Newsletter

Share your lesson plans!
The new JHI Pedagogy platform will connect secondary school teachers and college/university teachers who aim to teach history in explorative, relevant, and revolutionary ways. The platform will consist of two main parts: a database of lesson plans rooted in JHI articles for secondary school and university teachers to make use of and a forum in which teachers can post lesson plans, syllabi, curricula, and pedagogical tools surrounding the teaching of history. 
Send in your history lesson plans and curricula to blogjhi@gmail.com! If you have written for JHI, craft a lesson plan based on your article!
The latest number of the Journal of the History of Ideas is now live on Project MUSE!

Calling all graduate students, alumni, and faculty: Please help us support current and future graduate students by sharing a Comprehensive Exam Reading List for Intellectual History and related fields! Lists can be mailed to blogjhi@gmail.com. Check out our current archive here.
