I am a Ph.D. candidate in History at the College of William & Mary. My dissertation, “‘Seen and Unseen Friends’: American Youth and Internationalism From World War One Through World War Two,” examines how young people engaged in and shaped efforts aimed at cross-cultural understanding and internationalism. The driving force behind my research is my love for teaching. More specifically, it is my students that inspire many of the historical questions I ask and encourage me to pursue the actions and voices of children and youth in the archive. My work has been supported by the Hoover Presidential Foundation and the Roosevelt Institute and I am a Featured Doctoral Student of the Society for the History of Childhood and Youth (http://www.shcy.org/features/students/katherine-s-cartwright/).
I have served as a teaching assistant for Global History and the second half of the U.S. survey and also designed and taught the course “Youth Cultures Since the Progressive Era.” I hope to use my blog posts to help instructors include more of the history of childhood and youth in their classrooms.
