I am putting together a panel on how educators have responded to the events and aftermath of 9/11. My paper will examine one particular challenge facing those teaching undergraduate U.S. history survey courses: the proliferation of 9/11 conspiracy theories. Specifically, I will discuss how the Naudet brothers’ documentary 9/11 might elicit class discussions about the ways Americans have attempted to find meaning in an inherently incomprehensible tragedy, thus helping students understand the driving force behind the increase of conspiracy theories in recent years.
This will be an interdisciplinary panel, examining pedagogy at both the secondary and college level. Interested co-panelists should send a paper abstract of 200 words or less and a curriculum vitae by April 1, 2011 to Jessamyn Neuhaus at neuhauj@plattsburgh.edu
The Great Lakes History Conference will take place on October 7 and 8, 2011, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The conference theme is “Education and Society.”
