Oral history is in many ways different from a text-focused, traditional approach, yet the two may certainly be used and understood in conjunction. To make the best use of a work of oral history, the reader, researcher, teacher or reviewer must think…

Life for women in the medieval era was less than ideal. Women had little autonomy, and only had two avenues to pursue, a life dedicated to God or to marriage. Yet, the station of women within society changed after the bubonic plague, due to the lack…

Gender has shaped the conception of evil since the beginning of mythology. The archetypes of good and evil are easier to conceptualize when anthropomorphized in the shapes of men and women. Phillip Cole notes that one of the Devil's traditional…

Comparing my feelings on the assassination of John F. Kennedy when the event occurred to my attitude toward the tragedy now, I come to the realization that in some repects youth is an extravagance of time.

A fourteen-year old high school freshman hardly expects to have anything unusual or disruptive occur at an ultra-conservative school such as Port1and Sr. High School in Portland, Connecticut. Each day is similar to every other day; the only thing…

In the spring of 1973 four of us worked together on a single historical enquiry -- Who began the Korean War? Most Americans have assumed that the North Koreans attacked the South without warning, but a few historians have suggested that the South…

The novice interviewer will find such a project challenging and frightening, but also bearing the potential of considerable rewards. Many students ignore interviewing as a research tool because the logistics problems appear, at first glance, to be…
