History as Art, Art as History is a powerful and provocative response to schooling that severs the arts and humanities from the social studies and that cuts both from the academic mainstay. It aims to inspire and empower teachers to make intellectually rich classroom connections between contemporary visual arts and history education in a way that strengthens learning in both domains. --Teachers College Record Winner of the 2010 AERA Division B Outstanding Contribution Award
