Peter N. Stearns 
Meaning Over Memory [EPUB ebook] 
Recasting the Teaching of Culture and History

In the midst of the heated battles swirling around American humanities education, Peter Stearns offers a reconsideration not of
what we teach but of why and how we teach it. A humanities program, says Stearns, should teach students not just memorized facts but analytical skills that are vital for a critically informed citizenry. He urges the use of innovative research as the basis of such a curriculum, and he offers specific suggestions on translating curriculum goals into courses that can be taught alongside or instead of the more conventional staples.
