Interchange

Each year, the editors select a topic for this yearly conversation among scholars. They invite experts in the field to participate in a closed online forum for 4–6 weeks. This conversation is then edited and printed in the September issue.

Teaching the JAH

The JAH editors select two articles each year to be featured in Teaching the JAH. The article is chosen from those already accepted for publication in the Journal; once they have made a selection, the editors invite the article's author to compile an installment with the assistance of the JAH staff.

Textbooks and Teaching

Laura Westhoff, University of Missouri, St. Louis and Robert D. Johnston, University of Illinois at Chicago, are the contributing editors for the "Textbooks and Teaching" section of the Journal of American History. Their contact information can be viewed below. View submission guidelines.
