Meaning Over Memory : Recasting the Teaching of Culture and History Hardback
by Peter N. Stearns
Part of the H. Eugene and Lillian Youngs Lehman Series series
Hardback
Description
In the midst of the heated battles swirling around American humanities education, Peter Stearns offers a reconsideration not of what we teach but of why and how we teach it.
A humanities program, says Stearns, should teach students not just memorized facts but analytical skills that are vital for a critically informed citizenry. He urges the use of innovative research as the basis of such a curriculum, and he offers specific suggestions on translating curriculum goals into courses that can be taught alongside or instead of the more conventional staples.
