The Harvey Goldberg Series for Understanding and Teaching History

John Day Tully, Matthew Masur, and Brad Austin, Series Editors

Advisory Board: Kevin Boyle, Ross Dunn, Leon Fink, Kimberly Ibach, Alfred W. McCoy, David J. Staley, Maggie Tran, Sam Wineburg, and Leslie Alexander

The Harvey Goldberg Series gives college and secondary history instructors a deeper understanding of the past as well as the tools to help them teach it creatively and effectively. Each volume focuses on a specific historical topic and offers a wealth of content and resources, providing concrete examples of how teachers can approach the subject in the classroom.

Named for Harvey Goldberg, a professor renowned for his history teaching at Oberlin College, Ohio State University, and the University of Wisconsin from the 1960s to the 1980s, the series reflects Goldberg’s commitment to helping students think critically about the past with the goal of creating a better future.

If you have ideas for a volume, or would like to be considered as an editor for a volume in the series, please contact UW Press Acquisitions Editor Nathan MacBrien.
