Teaching Interests: Professor Hartman focuses on twentieth-century United States intellectual history. He is particularly interested in the ways ideas helped shape political and educational contexts, and then in turn were reshaped by those contexts. His first book, Education and the Cold War: The Battle for the American School, was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2008. Hartman is currently writing another book, A War for the Soul Of America: A History of the Culture Wars, From the 1960s to the Present, which is contracted to be published by the University of Chicago Press. A War for the Soul of America will be the first comprehensive, full-length historical treatment of the culture wars, a series of public controversies that emerged from the polarized 1960s, dominated headlines during the 1980s and 1990s, and remain with us today. Professor Hartman co-founded and regularly writes for the academic weblog, US Intellectual History(http://us-intellectual-history.blogspot.com/), which won the 2010 Cliopatria Award for "best group blog." He is one of the department's history education specialists, stemming from his experience as a high school social studies teacher in the Denver area. Research Interests: History Education. Education: University of New Mexico, BA, 1994, The George Washington University, MA, 2003 and The George Washington University, PhD, 2006.
