The history of Hawai‘i's relationship with the United States is marked by continued attempts on the part of the islanders to renegotiate Hawai‘i's place in the American political imagination. In ...three separate instances, those efforts took cartographic shape. In 1876, with the Kingdom of Hawai‘i beginning to feel the leading waves of US imperialism, the kingdom sent a modern, scientific map to the Centennial World's Fair in Philadelphia, making an argument for Hawaiian sovereignty. In 1893, with the question of annexation on the table after the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, haole insurrectionists endorsed a map depicting the islands' proximity to and reliance on the United States – a map that showed the indigenous Hawaiian peoples as barbarous and unable to rule themselves without Western intervention. And in 1937 the Hawaiian Pineapple Company (Dole) commissioned a tourist map of the territory that sought to tame Hawai‘i in the mainlanders' imagination even as the islands' business leaders began their first serious push for statehood. These three maps, set alongside each other, demonstrate a long and contested discussion between the islands and the mainland about how the United States understood Hawai‘i and Pacific politics: a cartographic conversation that remained thematically consistent across multiple iterations of Hawaiian governments.

Teaching Gradually is a guide for anyone new to teaching and learning in higher education. Written for graduate student instructors, by graduate students with substantive teaching experience, this ...resource is among the first of its kind to speak to graduate students as comrades-in-arms with voices from alongside them in the trenches, rather than from far behind the lines. Each author featured in this book was a graduate student at the time they wrote their contribution. Consequently, the following chapters give scope to a newer, diverse generation of educators who are closer in experience and professional age to the book's intended audience. The tools, methods, and ideas discussed here are ones that the authors have found most useful in teaching today's students. Each chapter offers a variety of strategies for successful classroom practices that are often not explicitly covered in graduate training.
Overall, this book consists of 42 chapters written by 51 authors who speak from a vast array of backgrounds and viewpoints, and who represent a broad spectrum of experience spanning small, large, public, and private institutions of higher education. Each chapter offers targeted advice that speaks to the learning curve inherent to early-career teaching, while presenting tangible strategies that readers can leverage to address the dynamic professional landscape they inhabit. The contributors' stories and reflections provide the context to build the reader's confidence in trying new approaches in their his or her teaching. This book covers a wide range of topics designed to appeal to graduate student instructors across disciplines, from those teaching discussion sections, to those managing studio classes and lab sessions, to those serving as the instructor of record for their own course. Despite the medley of content, two common threads run throughout this volume: a strong focus on diversity and inclusion, and an acknowledgment of the increasing shift to online teaching.A
This project traces the role of eels in English economic and cultural history from roughly the tenth century through the end of the seventeenth century. Detailing how the fish’s prevalence on the ...plate and in the marketplace was echoed in art, literature, language, and toponyms, I show that eels made up a critical component of medieval English cultural identity. Changes in demographics, climate, and land use from the fourteenth century onward helped shift the locus of English eel culture to London while simultaneously forcing an increasing reliance on imported fish. By the start of the seventeenth century the English in London were purchasing most of their eels live from Dutch merchants from their ships on the Thames. But a combination of wars with the Dutch and high import tariffs served finally to decouple eels from English identity by the end of the century, marking an effective end to the country’s long-held eel culture.
The increasing availability of digital options for presenting and discussing ideas has opened abundant opportunities in the classroom. This chapter provides a framework for successfully implementing ...digital assignments with undergraduate learners. It discusses some of the issues to consider while producing these assignments and go through the steps of planning and implementing one. The chapter presents a guide for designing assignments and setting timelines. Assigning digital projects lets Graduate student instructors provide opportunities for students to practice collaboration, teamwork, narrative construction, and other broadly useful competencies. Graduate student instructors need to be able to access and assess student work throughout a course despite problems with hosting platforms and digital tools, maintenance issues, or sudden loss of data through a digital platform. Digital projects help instructors assess students' skill development and competence with course materials at every step. Designing intermediate benchmarks around learning outcomes that feed into the project's main pedagogical goals makes holistic assessment possible.
In the middle decade of the thirteenth century, the Benedictine monk and historian Matthew Paris drew four regional maps of Britain. The monk's works stand as the earliest extant maps of the island ...and mark a distinct shift from the cartographic traditions of medieval Europe. Historians have long considered the version attached to the monk's Abbreviatio Chronicorum – the Claudius map – as the last and most thorough of Paris's images of Britain. However, scholars have focused on the document's limitations as an accurate geographic representation and have failed to consider critically Paris's representation of Britain with an eye towards its political implications. This thesis is an examination of the elements of the Claudius map, in context with the monk's historical writings, to argue that Paris's map of Britain should be studied as an aggressive cultural artifact through which the monk posited imperial English claims to suzerainty over the whole of the island.

Teaching is a craft that one never truly perfects. Effective teaching does not always come naturally, and for this reason, many educators seek some degree of pedagogical training throughout their ...careers. It is worth noting, however, that such training is often delivered by seasoned professionals whose vast experience and accomplishments can distance them from the immediate needs of graduate student instructors. This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book offers targeted advice that speaks to the learning curve inherent to early career teaching, while presenting tangible strategies that readers can leverage to navigate the dynamic professional landscape they inhabit. It encounters a series of engaging stories, anecdotes, and reflections that will help clarify our path forward and inspire us to try new skills in the experimental setting that is the college classroom.
