Dr. Ernest R. Rugenstein, an adjunct faculty member in the History, Philosophy, and Social Sciences Department, attended the American Historical Association’s 134th Annual Meeting held Jan. 3 through 6 in New York City. A presenter at previous gatherings of the Association, Rugenstein took on a larger role at this year’s event.
On the morning of Jan. 6, Rugenstein was a panelist during the World History for the 21st Century: Redesigning the College History Introductory Curriculum Workshop. His presentation, “Using an Annotated Bibliography in an Introductory Course,” was based on a slide presentation, How to Prepare an Annotated Bibliography, that he uses in class. The panelists’ presentations were followed by a Q&A session.
Rugenstein also presented during the “Assignment Charrette: Undergraduate and K-16 Teaching Workshop,” during which history instructors from high school to college level discussed assignments used in their course work and how to improve them.
During the poster presentations, Rugenstein shared the poster, The Impact of Westward Expansion on New York State Agricultural Prosperity, 1830-1900 (see below). Visitors to the poster presentations had an opportunity to talk with the historians exhibiting posters on a range of topics from agriculture to transportation and urban networks.
The American Historical Association’s annual meeting gives K-16 history instructors an opportunity to explore and articulate the challenges facing instructors in world history courses. In addition to his role as a presenter, Rugenstein attended sessions on “Native Peoples, Settler Colonialism and the Early Republic,” and the K-16 Educators’ Workshop: “Hold On – I Thought I Knew This Story!”
