23. Roundtable: AMERICAN STUDIES IN PRECARIOUS TIMES: REFLECTIONS ON THE TEACHING-FELLOW EXPERIENCE 'YOU CAN TEACH THIS, RIGHT?' MODULE DEVELOPMENT AS A TEACHING FELLOW'

Author

Bishop, Thomas, Hunt, Megan, West, James, Moynihan, Snied, Witham, Nick, Stone, Rebbeca, and Oliver, Kendrick

Subjects
V147 Modern History 1950-1999, T700 American studies
Abstract

The following roundtable grew out of a set of presentations at the  Historians of the Twentieth-Century United States (HOTCUS) conference at University College Dublin. The session provided the opportunity for those with experience of precarious employment as teaching fellows in American studies at UK universities to reflect on that experience. In doing so, the contributors used a combination of autobiographical and scholarly reflection to discuss issues of precarity, discrimination, inequality, career devel- opment and workload that provide a range of vital insights into the experi- ences of those temporarily employed to teach American studies, a category that is growing in number. As part of JAS’s commitment to publishing discus- sions of both pedagogy and early-career professional development, we hope that readers at all career stages will find thought-provoking information and ideas in the reflections that follow.

42. Confronting a "crisis in historical perspective": Walter LaFeber, Gabriel Kolko and the Functions of Revisionist Historiography during the Reagan Era.

Author

Witham, Nick

Abstract

The article explores the work of the revisionist foreign policy historians Walter LaFeber and Gabriel Kolko during the 1970s and 1980s. Particular focus is given to their study of U.S. intervention in Central and South America. According to the author, both historians wished to use their findings to educate the American public, but they had several disagreements related to revisionism and political activism. It is suggested that several elements of the revisionist tradition are useful to historians today. Topics discussed include democratic change, revolutionary movements, and student radicalism.
