Tai Lieu Chat Luong The History of U.S Higher Education The first volume in the Core Concepts in Higher Education series, The History of U.S Higher Education rebuilds a constructive relationship between the field of higher education and the disciplinary field of history Written primarily for students in higher education graduate and PhD programs, this book explores critical methodological issues in the history of American higher education, including often-overlooked issues such as race, class, gender, and sexuality Chapters include: Reflective exercises that combine theory and practice, Research Method Tips, and Further Reading Suggestions The text allows students to understand the processes that historians use when conducting their own research and addresses the following questions: What historians choose to include in their work? What historians choose to leave out of their work and why? How historians answer their research questions when sources are not available? How historians evaluate their sources? What motivates historians to pursue particular research questions? How historians frame and organize their work? Leading historians and those at the forefront of new research explain how historical literature is discovered and written, and provide readers with the methodological approaches to conduct historical higher education research of their own The contributors guide readers as they develop a rich appreciation for the craft of history and the importance of understanding higher education's past Marybeth Gasman is an Associate Professor of Higher Education in the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania Core Concepts in Higher Education Marybeth Gasman and Edward P St John, Series Editors The History of U.S Higher Education Methods for Understanding the Past Marybeth Gasman, editor The History of U.S Higher Education Methods for Understanding the Past Edited by Marybeth Gasman First published 2010 by Routledge 711 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017 Simultaneously published in the UK by Routledge2 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RN Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business © 2010 Taylor & Francis Typeset in Minion by RefineCatch Limited, Bungay, Suffolk All rights reserved No part of this book may be reprinted or reproduced or utilized in any form or by any electronic, mechanical, or other means, now known or hereafter invented, including photocopying and recording, or in any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from the publishers Trademark Notice: Product or corporate names may be trademarks or registered trademarks, and are used only for identification and explanation without intent to infringe Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data The history of U.S higher education: methods for understanding the past / Marybeth Gasman, editor p cm.—(Core concepts in the history of higher education vol 1) Includes bibliographical references and index Education, Higher—United States—History Education, Higher—Study and teaching (Graduate)—United States Universities and colleges—United States—Graduate work—History I Gasman, Marybeth LA228.5.H57 2010 378.7309—dc22 2009046038 ISBN10: 0–415–87364–9 (hbk) ISBN10: 0–415–87365–7 (pbk) ISBN10: 0–203–85244–3 (ebk) ISBN13: 978–0–415–87364–2 (hbk) ISBN13: 978–0–415–87365–9 (pbk) ISBN13: 978–0–203–85244–6 (ebk) This book is dedicated to those who bring laughter and joy to my life Contents Series Editor Introduction EDWARD P ST JOHN List of Figures and Tables Acknowledgments Introduction MARYBETH GASMAN Section I Methodological Approaches "Within These Walls": Reading and Writing Chapter Institutional Histories DARRYL L PETERKIN Chapter Chapter Oral History As Scholarship KATHERINE CHADDOCK Autobiography and Biographical Research in Higher Education WAYNE URBAN "No Food, No Drinks, Pencil Only": Checklists for Conducting Chapter and Interpreting Archival Research JORDAN R HUMPHREY The Literature Review as Scholarship: Using Critical Reviews Chapter and Historiography LINDA EISENMANN Section II Chapter Chapter Using a New Historical Lens Horizontal History and Higher Education JOHN R THELIN Photographs as Primary Sources MICHAEL BIEZE Quantification and Cognitive History: Applying Social Chapter Science Theory and Method to Historical Data JANE ROBBINS Chapter Section III Life History and Voice: On Standpoints and Reflexivity WILLIAM G TIERNEY Critical Examinations of Special Issues "Poor" Research: Historiographical Challenges When Chapter 10 Socio-Economic Status is the Unit of Analysis JANA NIDIFFER Where is Your "Home"?

So that scholars and practitioners educated in higher education programs are better prepared to provide authentic leadership for colleges and universities, academic communities that study these institutions, and the communities served by colleges and universities When I was asked by Sarah Burrows of Routlege to consider being a series editor for a new text series, Marybeth Gasman was the first person I thought of as an author or editor who could a book on history that empowered students and faculty to engage in the difficult task of discovering the voices that have too frequently been left out of the histories of our field, a process the moves the specialization forward and engages more people in doing this difficult work well The ASHE reader series provides collections of works previously published, providing foundations for the core courses, but a series that informs scholars and practitioners in these specialized areas about critical issues facing our community and frameworks for addressing them was also needed As co-editors of the new series on Core Issues in Higher Education, Marybeth and I will work with other scholars in moving our field—the combination of research, teaching and practice that makes our work so very special—forward into a third generation of scholarship Edward P St John List of Figures and Tables Figures 7.1 Walden Fawcett, Booker T
