• In Event: Division C Outstanding Graduate Student Research Posters

Abstract

This historical study traces the life of the Center for Research and Education in American Liberties (CREAL) from its founding in 1962 to its demise in 1971. The study explores one understudied mechanism by which the federal government has shaped social studies curricula—initiatives of the federal judiciary.
