National Youth Summit: Japanese American Incarceration in World War II
During World War II, the United States government forcibly removed over 120,000 Japanese Americans from the Pacific Coast. These individuals, two-thirds of them U.S. citizens, were sent to ten camps built throughout the western interior of the United States. Many would spend the next three years living under armed guard, behind barbed wire. On May 17, 2016 at 1 pm Eastern and 10 am Pacific, join the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History and the Japanese American National Museum for a webcast event where we will explore this period in American history and consider how fear and prejudice can upset the delicate balance between the rights of citizens and the power of the state. Designed for high school students! For more information and to register!

Stanford History Department courses teach the analytical, interpretive, and writing knowledge and skills necessary for understanding the connections between past and present. History is a pragmatic discipline in which the analysis of change over time involves sifting through the influences and perspectives that affect the course of events, and evaluating the different forms of evidence historians exploit to make sense of them.
Teaching students how to weigh these sources and convert the findings into persuasive analysis lies at the heart of the department's teaching. Graduates with a History major pursue careers and graduate study in law, public service, business, writing, education, and journalism.

KID PRESIDENTS, True Tales of Childhood from America's Presidents
By David Stabler, Illustrated by Doogie Horner
From George Washington to Barack Obama, KID PRESIDENTS is an informative and educational book of true stories from the childhoods of 25 US presidents. Includes more than 200 cartoon illustrations.
"This book is altogether too much fun! The pictures are hilarious, the stories are surprising and interesting, and the whole thing is delightful enough to make people forget that it's about America, and history." --- Ben H. Winters, author of The Secret Life of Ms Finkelman

DePaul University
The History Department at DePaul offers a full, rich curriculum in undergraduate and graduate education. In addition to its strong undergraduate (B.A.) program with its standard, public, pre-law, and secondary education concentrations, the department offers a minor in Museum Studies, an M.A. degree, and combined BA/MA degrees in secondary education, in journalism, and international studies. The Department offers courses in a broad array of historical topics, spanning geographic, chronological, and theoretical concerns. The Department is also closely linked to a wide variety of interdisciplinary programs within the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, so students have many opportunities to pursue the ways that history intersects with other topics and interests. Courses are small, so students have contact with their professors, both in and out of class.
The department is dedicated to providing a first-rate experience to our undergraduate majors and minors and graduate students. An Annual Student History Conference featuring student papers is held in the Spring Quarter. The Department also sponsors career-related activities, a History Society, and a chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the National Honor Society for History.
The department's roughly 35 full and part-time faculty are engaged scholar-teachers, committed to maintaining active scholarly agendas and integrating their research and teaching. Recent publications by faculty members include prominent books, chapters, and journal articles. DePaul history professors have received federal, state, private and university based grants in recognition of the value of their research.
