This roundtable emerged from informal conversations at previous conferences. The goal of the roundtable was to highlight some key themes arising from our experiences, and to generate ideas about our future roles in an interdisciplinary context.

This national survey will complement international studies on students’ learning experiences and historical consciousness conducted in Europe, the United States, Canada and Australia by focusing on students currently enrolled in history classes at Canadian universities, and collect much needed Canadian-specific data that focuses on learning history at the university level.; Yes, we give lectures and probably always will, especially if we remember that these are not rehearsals of textbooks or secondhand notes but more like performances of our own struggles to achieve historical understanding. And history classes will continue to encourage questions and discussions and offer a range of readings and assignments. But here I want to give a few examples of role-playing exercises that I have used in Canadian history courses. My pragmatic working assumption has been that a closer engagement with historical information is a good thing. And that, if students are called upon to show what they can do with that information in class, they will do their best to rise to the occasion.

The group achieves this through the sponsoring of networking events, panels, and through the annual Public History Prize.; Three exhibitions on Anne Frank’s story have been travelling throughout Canada since 2011. This project wants to be a moment of exchange between young people today on themes presented in the life of this young girl that are still relevant for them. Wed, 08 Jan 2020 13:45:26 GMT
