About this event
The Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) Department of History and CWRU History Associates Present the 2024 Carl W. Ubbelohde Public Lecture
This year’s Ubbelohde Lecture will feature Dr. James Grossman, Executive Director of the American Historical Association, the leading organization for professional historians and teachers of history at all levels.
Until recently, state boards of education seldom became involved in defining standards for history education. Today these standards have become battlegrounds, leaving social studies teachers in our public schools uncertain of what they can or cannot teach.
This lecture is free and open to the public, but registration is requested: https://forms.gle/Kp6vCtjP1Wr1ia2v7
James Grossman is the author of Land of Hope: Chicago, Black Southerners, and the Great Migration and A Chance to Make Good: African-Americans 1900-1929. Grossman was project director and coeditor of the Encyclopedia of Chicago. He is editor emeritus of fifty volumes of the University of Chicago Press book series “Historical Studies of Urban America.” Many of his articles and essays focus on urban history, African American history, and the place of history in education and public culture.
