Welcome!

Posted on January 5, 2012 by Mark Souther

Welcome to the blog for HIS 112. The blog is your source for timely prompts for preparation for each class meeting, assignment instructions, exam study guides, and occasional supplemental materials for your interest. It also provides an online home for the course syllabus. Sometimes I will use the blog to post my thoughts after reflecting on questions raised during class. The blog is intended as a convenience for you, but it is not a substitute for your presence in class or for the syllabus itself. You are responsible for understanding and complying with the expectations set forth in the syllabus.

About Mark Souther

I am an associate professor of history at Cleveland State University and public history director of the Center for Public History + Digital Humanities. I'm the author of New Orleans on Parade: Tourism and the Transformation of the Crescent City, editor of American Tourism: Constructing a National Tradition (forthcoming), and am researching a new book on perceptions of decline in postwar Cleveland. Apart from my involvement in CPHDH, I authored a recent successful National Register of Historic Places nomination and serve on the Cleveland Heights Landmark Commission. My history interests include urban and suburban history, 20th-century U.S. political and cultural history, leisure and tourism, and architecture and historic preservation, not to mention that I'm a self-indulgent hunter-gatherer of antiques and ephemera.
