This year’s four-session institute, offered in partnership with the UMass Amherst Department of History, welcomes expert scholars to discuss the historical origins of contemporary events. By looking closely at Central Asia, the Middle East, the idea of American exceptionalism and the modern environmental movement, we will gain essential perspective on stories in the news today. Following each talk, teachers will work with primary sources relating to the topic and explore ways to introduce the topics and sources into the classroom, connecting to content taught and the Common Core.

March 27, 2014 4:30 to 7:00pm
Who We Are: The Vietnam War and the End of American Exceptionalism“American exceptionalism” was a core tenet of national identity since the 17th century. Promoters of the creed have insisted that the U.S. was unrivaled not only in its resources, wealth, and military might, but in its values and institutions, its rights and opportunities. And unlike other powerful nations, the U.S. was said to act always as a force for good in the world. This talk explores how the Vietnam War posed fundamental challenges to the faith in American exceptionalism. We will also examine post-Vietnam efforts to revive it.
Presenter: Professor Chris Appy, UMass Amherst
May 8, 2014 . 4:30 to 7:00pmLearning from American Environmental HistoryStudying environmental history offers middle and high school students insights into the ways that past generations of Americans imagined and shaped the land, as well as helps students to understand the roots of the current environmental crises that they are inheriting. The workshop will explore various topics in American Environmental History as represented by documents, prints and photographs, and motion pictures available on-line through the Library of Congress and other repositories.
Presenter: Professor David Glassberg, UMass Amherst
December 12, 2013 4:30 to 7:00pm
Syria: The Middle of the Middle EastThis session explores the region we call the “Middle East” and the conceptual changes that have defined what this region may include. Since the term was first used in Britain and the United States, we will then consider what those who named the region had in mind and how definitions have changed over time. This will take us into the realms of global strategy, geography, religions, and peoples of the area. In whatever way the Middle East may be defined geographically, Syria lies at its center. Therefore we will then shift our gaze to Syria and how the above categories—global strategy, geography, religions and peoples—have played out in the civil war since 2011.
Presenter: Professor Mary Wilson, UMass Amherst
January 23, 2014 . 4:30 to 7:00pmEnergy and Human Rights in the Caspian BasinThe oil and gas-producing states around the Caspian Sea—Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Iran—have poor human rights records but the US and EU need their energy resources. For the US, as frequent champion of human rights and democratic rule, this dichotomy presents a philosophical and political dilemma. This presentation will examine energy and human rights in the region and view up close a few cases illustrating Western preference for energy security over human rights.
Presenter: Professor Audrey Altstadt, UMass Amherst
