  The other 2006 Leadership Grant was awarded to History Professors David Pace, Arlene Diaz and Leah Shopkow for their project Building a Network for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in History . Professors Pace, Diaz and Shopkow believe the IU History Department can make a major contribution to the scholarship of teaching and learning by systematically identifying some of the more important forms of historical practice expected in the upper-level classes of large history departments and uncovering disciplinary ways of knowing often used when teaching lower level history courses.
