Essays
From this page you can access several useful essays that relate to the subject of my portfolio. The first of these is a paper I presented at the American Historical Association national conference in Chicago (January 2000) which offers my interim results after one semester of work on the project. Because the scholarship of teaching and learning should be equal parts public dialogue and scholarly exchange, I hope you will take the time to read this paper and send me your comments and criticisms.
As of today, I am still collecting the URLs of the essays I intend to post here, so the list below is quite short. More resources will appear in the months ahead. If you know of one or two that you think merit inclusion in my list, by all means, let me know and I will look them over.
