href="/fileadmin/history/Ashley_Baggett_CV.pdf">here</a>. </p><p>Before obtaining her doctorate in history, Dr. Baggett earned a bachelor’s in secondary education, social studies and taught on various levels—including middle school, high school, and college—since 2003. Because of her education background, she is associate faculty with the School of Education’s Teacher Ed program for History/Social Sciences.</p><p><strong>What made you want to be a professional historian?</strong></p><p>My parents and their passions inspired me to become a historian. My mother thoroughly enjoyed being a teacher and modeled for me how educators positively impact our future generation. My father has a profound love of history and instilled in me the value of studying the past to understand the present. James Baldwin perhaps said it best, "History...does not merely refer to the past...history is literally present in all that we do." </p><p><strong>What makes you excited working with students? </strong></p><p>Students in my classes lead discussions on readings, research projects tailored towards their strengths, conduct oral history interviews, analyze primary sources, participate in experiential exercises and connect with the community and historical profession. I seek to engage students through my passion for teaching history and by having students "do history." This approach enables students to be active participants and collaborate in their learning. I enjoy seeing students make connections, develop critical thinking skills, and grow during their academic career. My hope is for them to be successful both inside and outside the classroom.</p><p><strong>Courses Taught</strong>:</p><p>HIST 104: U.S. History Since 1877<br> HIST 135: Race in the U.S.<br> EDUC 481/681: Classroom Practice and Methods: Social Studies<br> HIST/WGS 426/626: Women in American History<br> HIST 422/622: The American Civil War and Reconstruction<br> HIST 423/623: The Gilded Age and Progressive Era<br> WGS 489: Internship<br> HIST 730: Gender and Reform</p><p><strong>Publications</strong>:</p><p>Baggett, Ashley and Carol A.
