Teaching the Past in the Present Project Introduction "Teaching the Past in the Present," an on-going collaboration of university and secondary school humanities teachers, was launched with a highly successful conference in the fall of 1997. The goal of the project is to encourage and support the inclusion of the latest scholarly material on women and gender in history in the teaching of humanities at all levels of instruction with specific attention to grades 8 through 12 and lower division university courses. Research Cooperatives - the project facilitates the formation and activities of focus workgroups we call "co-ops." These groups produce pedagogical materials - text, web-based, multimedia - based on the latest research and scholarly analysis. Teaching Seminars - the projects hosts monthly meetings and periodic workshops on topics of gender in history, bringing together University faculty from our project with local middle and high school teachers. TeachPast Listserv - this listserv, no longer active, was maintained by FHP staff to provide a forum for interested teachers and scholars to share information, ideas, suggestions and resources related to the teaching of gender in history.
