So the last few weeks has been pretty crazy, and while I’ve got a number of good things to write about and some assignments that I’ve developed to share, my time is pretty well occupied with learning the minutiae of diaper changes and the significance of different timbres of cries. While learning to be a new parent is exhausting, it’s also great!
Originally from Salt Lake City, UT, Nate Kogan is presently an Upper School History Teacher at Fort Worth Country Day in Fort Worth, TX. This fall he will resume coursework at the University of Texas at Arlington in pursuit of his Ph.D in Transatlantic history. Nate holds a B.A. in history and architectural history from Columbia College, Columbia University (NY), and an M.A. in history from the University of Texas at Arlington.
His pedagogical interests presently center on how to integrate technology into the classroom to encourage greater student accountability, self-directedness, and improved critical thinking and research skills. His historical research interests center on U.S. cultural history and the role of identity in history. In particular, (largely attributable to his upbringing as a Jewish gentile in the land formerly known as Deseret) Nate explores the history of the LDS Church, its changing presentation of identity to various outsider groups, and its concomitant quest for integration into the mainstream.
I’ve not done a guest post before, but that’d be great! What was the topic? Was this for the Swarthmore Alumni magazine or the SCH magazine? Either way, some new material and another voice would be a great addition. Thanks!
Love this. Do want a guest post? I have a longish piece that just ran in the alumni magazine. I could probably condense.
Hi Dave,
