What’s New With WAPUSH?

Interview with Historian Rick Perlstein

This week the WAPUSH team posted a new interview with presidential historian Rick Perlstein. Perlstein is a historian of American conservatism, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, the 1970s and much more. He was interviewed by Geneva Williams, Co-Director of the WAPUSH Oral History Project where he talked about which women he thinks all high school students should know.

Presenting at the National Women’s Studies Conference

Tomorrow several leaders of the WAPUSH campaign will be presenting our proposal for an AP Women’s U.S. History course at the National Women’s Studies Conference in Puerto Rico. Look for updates on this presentation and what we learned at NWSA in a future WAPUSH Wednesday post.
