Join the National Association of Scholars on Tuesday, October 17, at 2 pm ET for "American Innovation: Connecting the World—The Internet."

Today, the internet is a necessity, an ever-present force that is connected to nearly everything, from cars to watches to refrigerators. We can access it anywhere at any time with our smartphones, and we can do a seemingly unlimited amount of things through it. But that wasn't always the case. What is the story behind the development of the internet? What was it intended to be, and how did it develop into the massive network of today?

This event will feature Martin Campbell-Kelly, emeritus professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick; Paul Ceruzzi, former curator in the Space History Department at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum; Shane Greenstein, Martin Marshall Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School.

Join the National Association of Scholars on Tuesday, October 24, at 2 pm ET for "Teaching African American History”

States, school districts, and teachers all want to know how to teach African American history as part of the broader narrative of our nation's character.

In this webinar, we will explore exemplary Americans like Benjamin Banneker, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Clarence Thomas, and how we can best teach about them. The panelists of this webinar will also discuss how state standards, lesson plans, and scholars can work together to promote the proper teaching of African American history.

This event will feature William Allen, Emeritus Dean and Professor at Michigan State University; Benjamin Jones, former Secretary of Education for South Dakota and Director of South Dakota State Historical Society; and Ian Rowe, a Senior Fellow at American Enterprise Institute and writer for the 1776 Unites Campaign.
