Professor John Curry (History) was invited to present as part of a roundtable organized for the American Historical Association (AHA) annual meeting in San Francisco, California, on Jan. 4 as part of his role as co-chair for Higher Education on the Advanced Placement World History Development Committee. The roundtable, titled "Recent Developments in Advanced Placement U.S. History, World History, and African-American Studies Courses," was jointly organized by the leadership of the AHA and the College Board's Advanced Placement program. Focusing on both the exponential growth of the World History exam in recent years and the coming impact of the newly-developed African-American course framework and its integration, the roundtable included Prof. Hilary Green of Davidson College and President Ben Vinson of Howard University, and was chaired by Prof. Fritz Fischer of the University of Northern Colorado.
