SUMMARY:The Grand Alliance\, 1941-1945
DESCRIPTION:World War II brought about the formation of what Winston Churchill called the “Grand Alliance” of the United States\, the Soviet Union\, and Great Britain. But while this alliance proved remarkably effective in bringing about the defeat of the Axis Powers\, it was less obvious whether the partnership could last beyond the end of the war. In this seminar we will use a role-playing game from the Reacting to the Past series\, based on the Yalta Conference of February 1945. Participants will take on the roles of U.S.\, Soviet\, and British delegates\, working to reach agreement on a number of important questions regarding the nature of the postwar world. \n\nHistoric Site: National World War II Museum\nHotel: Hilton New Orleans/St. Charles Avenue\n\nGather with a small group of teachers from around the country for three days immersed in discussion and exploration of a single topic in American history. Weekend Seminars are a free opportunity for teachers hosted near an important historical site. Teachers will prepare ahead of time for seminars by reading selected historical documents in the provided course packet. Once the seminar begins\, the discussion leader guides a peer-to-peer\, text-based conversation among all participants. Meals\, materials\, single-occupancy rooms\, and historical site visits are 100% covered by Teaching American History. At the end of each course\, every teacher receives a letter of participation for fifteen contact hours of continuing education and a stipend of $600 to help defray travel costs.

SUMMARY:Dams and the Transformation of the American West
DESCRIPTION:Wallace Stegner\, “the dean of Western writers\,” called Hoover Dam “one of the world’s wonders\,” marveling how everything about it “is marked by the immense\, smooth\, efficient beauty that seems peculiarly American.” The colossal structure Stegner admired in the Nevada desert inaugurated an era of prolific construction in the United States\, when dams arose as great symbols of power\, ingenuity\, ambition\, and national purpose. This course will trace the legacy of a technology across the 20th century that inspired engineers\, fired the imaginations of social visionaries and government officials\, awed artists\, transformed vast landscapes\, reconfigured regional economies\, prompted sober second thoughts\, and rewrote the history of our nation and its sprawling frontier. \n\nDiscussion Leader: Paul Milazzo\nHistoric Site: Hoover Dam\nHotel: Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort\n\nGather with a small group of teachers from around the country for three days immersed in discussion and exploration of a single topic in American history.

SUMMARY:Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:The era of Reconstruction is among the most consequential—but also misunderstood—periods of all American history. This seminar introduces participants to the purpose and implications of Reconstruction. It devotes particular attention to the ways in which Americans restored formally rebellious states into a federal republic; the definition and scope of liberty in the wake of emancipation; and the limitations of the federal state in enforcing civil rights. The seminar is not comprehensive. It does not delve into questions of labor reform\, education\, the American West\, the impeachment of Andrew Johnson\, or political corruption in the Ulysses S. Grant administration. Instead\, the seminar asks two foundational questions: 1) How did Americans of diverse political persuasions understand the purposes and scope of Reconstruction? 2) To what extent did Reconstruction succeed in its primary purpose of preserving the Union and amending the Constitution to bolster a self-governing republic? \n\nHistoric Site: Melrose Estate\nHotel: Natchez Grand Hotel\n\nGather with a small group of teachers from around the country for three days immersed in discussion and exploration of a single topic in American history.
