The
class
is
devoted
to
studying
the
history
of
soccer
in
the
United
States
while
introducing
students
to
the
methods
and
theories
of
historical
study.
The
course
also
provides
students
with
an
introduction
to
the
use
of
digital
technology
in
the
production
and
dissemination
of
historical
knowledge.
Students
will
research
and
produce
a
digital
exhibit
on
a
topic
that
will
be
published
on
a
specially
designed
website
called
www.SoccerHistoryUSA.org.
The
site
has
been
created
as
part
of
a
CHFA
Visioning
Grant
awarded
to
me
and
my
colleague
Jon
Olsen.
Part
of
the
site?s
purpose
is
to
give
undergraduate
students
an
opportunity
to
produce
original
research
and
to
see
it
used
in
a
meaningful
way.
