After teaching multiple sections of a first-year Towson Seminar course focused on America in the 1960s, Dr. Valerie Thaler has written a new book titled Solving the Puzzle: A Student’s Guide to Historical Research and Writing.
Published by Broadview Press, "Solving the Puzzle" encourages students to do the work of engaging with historical sources in a responsible way—and helps them to build critical thinking and writing skills that will transfer to other courses and contexts. With short, readable chapters covering each stage of the writing process, concrete examples, practical exercises, and an encouraging tone, this book will help students move past anxiety, avoid the temptation to cut corners, and solve the puzzles of historical research and writing.
This online event will feature a presentation about the book as well as moderator and audience Q&A.
