Some suggestions for teaching the Russian invasion of Ukraine in U.S. history classrooms

Some helpful suggestions from Chelsea Gibson of SUNY-Binghamton in a post at Nursing Clio:

1. Discuss the relationship between history and power.
2. Call attention to the memory of World War II
3. Give attention to the anti-nuclear movement
4. Reflect on the differences between a “televised war” and a “digital war”
5. Explore the end of the Cold War
6. Complicate the “Evil Empire” narrative

Great suggestions. See how Gibson unpacks them here.
