Improving Faculty Preparation in Research Universities: Insights From The Teagle Foundation's Graduate Student Teaching in the Arts and Sciences (GSTAS) Initiative

This white paper describes findings and lessons learned from site visits to seven GSTAS grantees: Northwestern University, Cornell University, Stanford University, Columbia University, Princeton University, the University of California-Berkeley, and the American Historical Association (AHA). We argue that a key element of success in these programs was their treatment of the development of knowledge and practice in teaching, and the development of knowledge and practice in research, as both similar and synergistic.

General George Crook and the Sioux war of 1876

A voluminous bibliography of excellent materials devoted to the Sioux War of 1876 attests to the fascination this subject holds for amateur and professional historians.
