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.

Join the National Association of Scholars on Tuesday, October 31, at 2 pm ET for "American Innovation: The World at Home—The Personal Computer."

Computers were once large, bulky things the size of entire rooms, and it took specialized skills in order to use one. However, Steve Jobs sought to popularize the PC, a personal computer, one that would reside in the home and be a tool for people of all kinds to use—one that was accessible without specialized skills. What is the story behind the first PC? What effects did this have—socially, culturally, economically?

This event will feature Nathan Ensmenger, an Associate Professor in the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering at Indiana University, and author of The Computer Boys Take Over: Computers, Programmers, and the Politics of Technical Expertise, and co-author of the most recent edition of Computer: A History of the Information Machine; and Eric Swedin, a professor of history at Weber State University, author of numerous articles and three books on the history of computing as well as the author of five novels, including When Angels Wept: A What-If History of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
