In the United States, Holocaust education is common practice in classrooms, thanks largely to concerted efforts by Holocaust survivors and the institutions they helped establish. This foundation has also expanded to genocides including: the annihilation of American Indians, the Rwandan genocide, and many more now feature prominently in American curricula. Yet significant questions remain: What should be taught? How should educators approach these difficult topics? What constitutes best practice? How can technology enhance learning?
Genocide Education in American Classrooms: Curriculum and Content, Pedagogy and Practice addresses these critical questions through contributions from leading and emerging scholars. Offering practical insights into curriculum design, pedagogical approaches, and classroom implementation, this book provides invaluable guidance for educators committed to teaching about genocide with confidence, sensitivity, and scholarly rigor.
Essential reading for educators, curriculum developers, teacher educators, and scholars in Holocaust and genocide studies, history education, and social studies.
Mark Gudgel is an Associate Professor of Education and the Director of the Environmental Sustainability Minor at the College of Saint Mary. His current research centers around how American educators approach genocide and human rights studies.
