Welcome! students who took the class, Teaching About 9/11 during the spring, 2006 academic year. During the course of the semester, we read about the documented facts surrounding the attacks that were carried out on 9/11, we learned about the planning of those attacks and we investigated their influence upon governmental reform and U.S. foreign policy. We discussed the nature of terrorism in broad terms and investigated some of the principles within differing sectors of Islamic thought and practice. We also read plays, poetry, and literature inspired by the events of 9/11 and discussed its impact upon popular culture. Early on during the term, members of the class decided that it was important to use the knowledge gained from class readings, discussions and investigations to enhance one's teaching, and to share that knowledge with other teachers and education students. This website represents that effort and is presented with that aim in mind. Professor Irv Epstein All Website Authors |
