I asked for three words that come to mind when you think of studying history. Here's what students said vs. what you all said on here:
Brilliant! We are so good in forgetting why students come to our programs and how to connect our teaching to that. Can I use your images for discussions with my colleagues? Just to be sure: the students come for Waterloo right... ? 😉
@hughrichards.bsky.social did you see this thread?
This is encouraging if we see it as *before* undergrad and after, right? From *the past* to ways of asking and answering questions about the past? Though it is possible for teenagers to do this kind of historical thinking *if* we understand research into how it develops @arthurjchapman.bsky.social ?
Interesting given that, despite its centrality to understanding the US, my department wouldn't hire a military historian if you pointed a trebuchet at their heads.
That is fascinating
One of the students said fun!
This is amazing! I love it so much!
I admit I'm curious about the salmon, yellow, and orange.
At least ‘boring’ isn’t as big as ‘interesting!’
