FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Teaching Difficult History through Film explores the potential of film to engage young people in controversial or contested histories and how they are represented, ranging from gender and sexuality, to colonialism and slavery. Adding to the education literature of how to teach and learn difficult histories, contributors apply their theoretical and pedagogical expertise and experiences to a variety of historical topics to show the ways that film can create opportunities for challenging conversations in the classroom and attempts to recognize the perspectives of historically marginalized groups. Chapters focus on translating research into practice by applying theoretical frameworks such as critical race theory, auto-ethnography or cultural studies, as well as more practical pedagogical models with film. Each chapter also includes applicable pedagogical considerations, such as how to help students approach difficult topics, model questions or strategies for engaging students, and examples from the authors' own experiences in teaching with film or in leading students to develop counter-narratives through filmmaking. These discussions of the real considerations facing classroom teachers and professors are sure to appeal to experienced secondary teachers, pre-service teacher education programs, graduate students, and academic audiences within education, history, and film studies.Part and chapter discussion guides, full references of the films included in the book, and resources for teachers are available on the book's companion website

Review

"This book fills an important gap in history education. I cannot think of any other text which addresses the important issue of history, film and information literacy in anything approaching this depth. It is written with eloquence and good sense, and offers insight and practical guidance to those who are concerned about the effective and ethical teaching of history. It should be essential reading for anyone involved in providing a historical education appropriate for young people growing up in the twenty-first century." T. A. Haydn, Professor of Education, University of East Anglia, Norwich"The editors have brought together a compelling set of papers that explore the potential and challenges of teaching and learning difficult history through film. For those interested in humanistic approaches to teaching and learning history—that history education is about more than the objective reading of evidence and construction of rational argument and often involves difficult deliberations about power, ethics and emotions—this volume is a highly welcome addition to the field." Terrie Epstein, Professor of Education, City University of New York, Hunter College and Graduate Center"Teaching Difficult History Through Film offers powerful and compelling insights into the complex possibilities and challenges of using film in the history classroom. In a thought-provoking and unprecedented manner, this outstanding edited collection offers a range of diverse perspectives relevant to teachers across the globe. It is indispensable reading for all educators concerned with how we imagine, think and learn about the past." Stuart Foster, Professor of History in Education, UCL Institute of Education, University College London
