I recently created and facilitated a writing workshop for undergraduates from mixed disciplinary backgrounds enrolled in an elective history course that, unbeknownst to participants for part of the time, incorporated ChatGPT-produced responses to variations of course prompts, and asked students to evaluate and score them using lists of a course rubric.
This year’s fellowship theme is "An Exploration of Central Asia." This year-long study will take a multidisciplinary approach to understanding Central Asian cultures and history, what unites the region, and what distinguishes its peoples, environment, and politics from its surroundings.

Submissions for the Teaching Award must deal with some aspect of New Jersey studies. All disciplines are encouraged to apply. Nominations for the award may come from anyone who has knowledge of the candidate’s work, or a candidate may self-nominate.
Using materials from trials can be a great way to get students to consider historical context, the nature of evidence, opposing views, the perspectives of "ordinary" people... One of my favorite sites is here: https://famous-trials.com/
What kind of sources do you find really get students thinking?
