Faculty Spotlight: Professor Keith Barton Presents at HEIRNET Conference in Scotland |
|
In September, Professor Keith Barton from the Curriculum and Instruction department traveled to the University of Stirling, Scotland for a paper presentation at the annual History Education International Research Network (HEIRNET) conference, the world's largest gathering of history education scholars. His paper, co-authored with Dr. Li-Ching Ho from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, examined how historical narratives can offer hopeful examples of living in harmony with the environment, countering student despair related to climate change. Following the conference, Professor Barton continued to Ireland as part of a research project aimed at identifying teachers and schools actively engaging students in climate change education and solutions. | |
