This is the first post of the new semester, Fall 2007, for students in the Introduction to Social Studies and the Local History Seminar. This is the blog. I will update regularly. The link at the top is a link to my home page, on which resides each course syllabus as well as sundry other things, including a link to the PDF of the Cultural Gardens essay for Wednesday’s class.
I should create a course Wiki, by the way, but that is not possible in the current technical universe of CSU, but it will be soon.
Email me with questions and/or comments.
Would Slavic Village or formerly Warzsawa be a good topic for the paper? My family is Polish and I grew up in that neighborhood giving it significence in my life. I would like to research it and learn more about it with the aspiration of learning more about my cultural heritage and my family’s.

We are focusing this semester on the corridor along Euclid Avenue, from Public Square, to University Circle, into East Cleveland, as well as the Cleveland Cultural Gardens. A really neat essay might explore how the Polish Cultural Garden reflects the broader history of Poles in Cleveland and the broader Polish immigrant experience. By the way, that story will reach out into the Slavic Village neighborhood.
