This report for the fiscal year (FY) 2018–19 gratefully honors the achievements of Pauline Yu, president from 2003 to 2019, and offers a preview of the strategic plan that will guide our work for the coming four years. Over Pauline’s tenure, ACLS considerably expanded its reach. We diversified the people and the institutions represented among our applicants, reviewers, panelists, and our own staff. With the support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, one of our most valued partners, we established a new fellowship program in 2018 for community college faculty, who teach nearly half of the nation’s higher education students and who can proudly claim the distinction of increasing undergraduate enrollments in the humanities and related social sciences. During this period, ACLS also pioneered new approaches to increasing the impact of scholars in the world. Most notable is the Mellon/ACLS Public Fellows program, now in its tenth year, which places PhDs in important professional roles beyond the classroom. The Public Fellows transcend the pride we and their home departments take in them: they are blazing trails for hundreds of scholars seeking to bring their ACLS president Joy Connolly worldview, values, and skills to work outside the academy. Joy Connolly began her service as The recipients of our newest Mellon-sponsored fellowship program, Scholars and president of the American Council of Society, began their work this fall. Senior scholars will bring their experiences Learned Societies in July 2019.

  • World History Education in Scholarship, Curriculum, and Textbooks, 1890-2002

    World History Education in Scholarship, Curriculum, and Textbooks, 1890-2002

    WHAT ARE OUR 17-YEAR OLDS TAUGHT? WORLD HISTORY EDUCATION IN SCHOLARSHIP, CURRICULUM AND TEXTBOOKS, 1890-2002 Jeremy L. Huffer A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2009 Committee: Tiffany Trimmer, Advisor Scott Martin Nancy Patterson © 2009 Jeremy L. Huffer All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Tiffany Trimmer, Advisor This study examines world history education in the United States from the late 19th century through 2002 by investigating the historical interplay between three mechanisms of curricular control: scholarship, curriculum recommendations, and textbook publishing. Research for this study has relied on unconventional source classification, with historical monographs which defined key developments in world history scholarship and textbooks being examined as primary sources. More typical materials, such as secondary sources analyzing philosophical educational battles, the history of educational movements, historiography, and the development of new ideologies from have been incorporated as well. Since educational policy began trending towards increasing levels of standardization with the implementation of compulsory education in the late 1800s, policymakers have been grappling with what to teach students about the wider world. Early scholarship focused on the history of Western Civilization, as did curriculum recommendations and world history textbooks crafted by professional historians of the period. Amidst the chaos of two World Wars, economic depression, the collapse of the global imperial system, and the advent of the Cold War traditional accounts of the unimpeachable progress of the Western tradition began to ring hollow with some historians. New scholarship in the second half of the twentieth century refocused world history, shifting away from the cyclical rise and fall of civilizations model which emphasized the separate traditions of various societies and towards a narrative of increasing interconnectedness.

  • Is There a Future for Italian Microhistory in the Age of Global History?

    Is There a Future for Italian Microhistory in the Age of Global History?

    Is There a Future for Italian Microhistory in the Age of Global History? Francesca Trivellato In the late 1970s and 80s, particularly after the appearance of Carlo Ginzburg’s The Cheese and the Worms (1976) and Giovanni Levi’s Inheriting Power (1985), Italian microhistory shook the ground of established historiographical paradigms and practices. Since then, as Anthony Grafton put it, “Microhistories have captivated readers, won places on syllabi, been translated into many languages – and enraged and delighted their [the authors’] fellow professionals” (2006, 62). Are the questions that propelled Italian microhistory still significant or have they lost impetus? How has the meaning of microhistory changed over the past thirty years? And what can this approach contribute nowadays, when ‘globalization’ and ‘global’ are the dominant keywords in the humanities and the social sciences – keywords that we hardly associate with anything micro? In what follows, I wish to put forth two arguments. I suggest that the potential of a microhistorical approach for global history remains underexploited. Since the 1980s, the encounter between Italian microhistory and global history has been confined primarily to the narrative form. A host of studies of individuals whose lives traversed multiple linguistic, political, and religious boundaries has enjoyed considerable success among scholars and the broad public alike. These are predicated on the idea that a micro- and biographical scale can best portray the entanglement of cultural traditions produced by the growing contacts and clashes between different societies that followed the sixteenth- century European geographical expansion. They also reflect a greater comfort among historians and the general reader, perhaps most pronounced in Anglophone countries, with narration rather than social scientific analysis.

McNeill University Professor Georgetown University President of the American Historical Association, 2019 Presidential Address New York Hilton Trianon Ballroom New York, New York Saturday, January 4, 2020 5:30 PM John R. McNeill By George Vrtis, Carleton College In fall 1998, John McNeill addressed the Georgetown University community to help launch the university’s new capital campaign. Sharing the stage with Georgetown’s president and other dignitaries, McNeill focused his comments on the two “great things” he saw going on at Georgetown and why each merited further support. One of those focal points was teaching and the need to constantly find creative new ways to inspire, share knowledge, and build intellectual community among faculty and students. The other one centered on scholarship. Here McNeill suggested that scholars needed to move beyond the traditional confines of academic disciplines laid down in the 19th century, and engage in more innovative, imaginative, and interdisciplinary research. Our intellectual paths have been very fruitful for a long time now, McNeill observed, but diminishing returns have set in, information and methodologies have exploded, and new roads beckon. To help make his point, McNeill likened contemporary scholars to a drunk person searching for his lost keys under a lamppost, “not because he lost them there but because that is where the light is.” The drunk-swirling-around-the-lamppost metaphor was classic McNeill. Throughout his academic life, McNeill has always conveyed his ideas in clear, accessible, often memorable, and occasionally humorous language. And he has always ventured into the darkness, searchlight in hand, helping us to see and understand the world and ourselves ever more clearly with each passing year.
