Historian and member of the New Paltz Historical Society, Dr.Thomas Mounkhall will talk about the role World History played in the Hudson Valley.
World history (not to be confused with diplomatic or international history) is a field of historical study that emerged as a distinct academic field in the 1980s. It examines history from a global perspective. World history is distinct from national history, with emphasis on connections and exchange across regional boundaries. World historians use a thematic approach, with two major focal points: integration (how processes of world history have drawn people of the world together) and difference (how patterns of world history reveal the diversity of the human experiences).Image may be NSFW.

Dr. Thomas Mounkhall has taught world history at the high school level for 33 years and at the undergraduate and graduate levels at SUNY New Paltz for 6 years. He has also trained secondary world history teachers all over the United States.
