Jeremy Stoddard is Professor of Curriculum & Instruction and a researcher in the Wisconsin Center for Education Research. His research includes the teaching of civics and history in partisan contexts, the integration of media education into democratic education, and a particular focus on engagement with so called “difficult” or marginalized histories and contemporary controversial issues. In addition to numerous publications, he has also led curriculum development and evaluation projects in formal and informal education settings, including his current IES-funded project PurpleState. He has co-authored or co-edited three books, including Teaching Difficult History Through Film (Routledge, 2017). He has served in numerous service roles, including Editor for Theory & Research in Social Education, and leadership roles in the Teaching History SIG of AERA, National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS), and the College and University Faculty Assembly (CUFA) of NCSS. Prior to joining the UW faculty in 2019, Stoddard was on faculty at William & Mary, where he served as Chair of the Department of Curriculum & Instruction, founded and directed the interdisciplinary program in Educational Studies, and was an affiliated faculty of the Film and Media Studies program.
