"The University of Pennsylvania has launched Climate and Environment Journalism: Truth-Telling in the Trump Era through its English department and American Conservatism From Taft to Trump for political science students. The New School's Donald Trump as History module will aim to explore the "Trump phenomenon" and how it alters views of U.S. history, while the University of Washington offers a special Trump in the World module."
"Andrew Heath, lecturer in U.S. history at Sheffield, told Times Higher Education that part of the module's purpose was to get students thinking about the history of terms such as populism that are "often thrown around in the media to make sense of Trump and Trumpism," and to encourage them to think critically about the way that comparisons are invoked. But teaching about such a fast-moving political situation is not easy."
Multiple universities have introduced modules focused on Donald Trump, Trumpism, and their historical and global contexts. Courses include Climate and Environment Journalism: Truth-Telling in the Trump Era and American Conservatism From Taft to Trump at the University of Pennsylvania, Donald Trump as History at the New School, and Trump in the World at the University of Washington. The University of Sheffield runs Trumpism: An American Biography to probe terms like populism and critical comparisons. Instructors note that teaching a fast-moving political phenomenon poses challenges because readings can become dated and units require frequent updating, though students show strong interest.
