| American Association for State and Local History |
|   |     Today's students are tomorrow's leaders and voters, and learning critical thinking skills and the relevance of history to contemporary issues is more important than ever. To create a more inclusive and equitable future, citizens need to understand how to embrace difficult history and discussions in order to learn from the past.   The American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) is a national membership organization that has been connecting and guiding the history field for over seventy-five years. We offer workshops, webinars, publications, and other resources to help history practitioners, learners, and teachers to understand how the events of the past affect today and tomorrow. We work with our network of over five thousand members in museums, archives, historic sites, university programs, libraries, schools, and other locations to help them inspire visitors and students and make the most of their resources.   Our resources include webinars and publications on interpreting controversial history, women's suffrage, Native American activism, civil rights, digital humanities, and much more. Whether you are looking to supplement existing curriculum, pursue special projects in the classroom, or better equip students with the tools to become educated citizens, we invite you to learn more about AASLH, our goals, and how we can work together at www.aaslh.org.    |

| Rollins College |
|   |     The history faculty at Rollins College believe that the study of history is central to acquiring a liberal education.  It introduces all other liberal arts subjects and illuminates our past, providing us with a sense of continuity and moral purpose. By understanding the work of those in the past, there is a greater appreciation for the responsibility we have for future generations.  Professors at Rollins emphasize critical reading and thinking, persuasive analytical writing, and active classroom participation in their teachings.   With the support of the College, Professors have been able to organize field studies allowing students to further their historical knowledge and apply the skills they have learned in classes.  Students taking their Senior Capstone create a portfolio to provide a self-reflective academic autobiography in this final course in the major.  History alumni from Rollins have been able to pursue careers in education, law, banking, government, and many others.    |

| Swarthmore College |
|   |     At Swarthmore College, the study of history engages the inside and the outside, the personal and the collective. We think about how history feels but also what its consequences are in the world. We study change over time and wrestle with essential questions of how and why. We study the distance between then and now, and work to understand the past for its own sake as well as its consequences in the present.   History students sift and interpret evidence and craft their own distinctive interpretations. We are detectives chasing clues, we are storytellers and mediators. Our faculty members have diverse interests: Some study social, cultural, and political movements; others examine everything from ecology to sexuality to the history of food. What they all share is commitment to empowering students to take a global, comparative approach to the art, practice, and study of history.   Ultimately, Swathmore's History Department gives students the intellectual and analytical skills to think critically about the past, the present and the future.    |
