The Department of History actively serves the profession and the community in a variety of ways. Through education initiatives, externally funded projects, the hosting of web sites and discussion lists devoted to historical topics, the support of a major scholarly journal, Frontiers, and community outreach members of the History Department demonstrate that history is not just what happens in the classroom or the archives, but is fundamental to the way in which we understand, experience, and change the world around us. Please take some time to explore the many ways in which Arizona State University historians are helping to advance historical knowledge and understanding.

History Education
The History Department at Arizona State University is committed to history education at the elementary, secondary, and collegiate levels. A significant number of our students are history education majors and will be future teachers in the state and elsewhere. Our goal is to prepare these future teachers by building their historical knowledge base, grounding them in historical thinking skills, and equipping them with pedagogical techniques to effectively communicate history in the classroom. We also are committed to serving history teachers in the Valley and are actively engaged in developing meaningful partnerships and collaborations with area schools, museums, archives, and public history sites in order to further history education.
