SUMMARY:A Talk by Professor Keith Barton\, History’s purpose in a time of p
	olitical pressure and curriculum reform 
DTSTAMP:20250331T192116Z

DESCRIPTION:In recent years the construction of history curricula has been 
	dragged into the culture war battles between progressive and conservative 
	forces in many countries. In Ireland\, north and south\, this has been les
	s the case with the curriculum authorities in both jurisdictions managing 
	to maintain at least some autonomy from direct political interference. Nev
	ertheless\, that does not mean that the selection of what should be taught
	 in history classrooms does not raise public controversy. With curriculum 
	change in progress on both sides of the border\, it is timely to foster de
	bate on what should be the purpose of history teaching in the volatile sec
	ond and third decades of the 21st Century.\n\nIn this session\, Professor 
	Keith Barton\, Indiana University\, addresses the theme by\, particularly\
	, drawing on his experiences of researching in both Irish jurisdictions as
	 well as in the United States. Keith is a History Educator of internationa
	l standing. He has studied history and social studies education on four co
	ntinents and written extensively on his findings. His book\, Teaching Hist
	ory for the Common Good\, co-authored with Linda Levstik\, has been influe
	ntial in countries across the globe and his new book\, Curriculum for Just
	ice and Harmony: Knowledge\, Deliberation\, and Action in Social and Civic
	 Education (co-authored with Li-Ching Ho) provides ideas that may help his
	tory educators think about their role in educating young people for the fu
	ture.
