I am pleased to announce that the second annual conference of the California World History Association will be held on November 14-15 (Fri eve-Sat) at San Francisco State University. This year’s conference will have a variety of activities particularly targeted to middle and high school world history teachers AND U.S. history teachers interested in adding a global perspective to their classes or looking for ways to integrate U.S. and world history. Particularly appealing will be grade-specific (grade 6, 7 and 10) roundtables at which mentor teachers and history scholars will engage in discussion about the “big picture” in specific historical periods – what the “global narrative” is at those times, and what are the most provocative and interesting questions researchers are exploring. A U.S./World roundtable will focus on ways to bring studies of the U.S. and the world together. Other panels and keynote addresses will get into specific topics of interest and/or provide key background to understand the “new” world history that is emerging in academic research. It should be a very valuable AND engaging weekend, for new and experienced teachers alike!
