Today’s interview is with Dr. John Moser, Professor of History at Ashland University and editor of the Core Documents volume on the Great Depression and New Deal. A complex and multi-faceted event that played out over a more than a decade, it can be understood by thinking of it as having taken place in six parts, chronologically: Hoover and the Great Depression Hoover vs. Roosevelt: The Election of 1932 Roosevelt First New Deal, 1932-1934 Criticism of the New Deal Roosevelt’s Second New Deal, 1934-1936 The New Deal in Decline, 1936-1938 John talks about how he went about selecting documents to fit this model, how the documents fit together, and how using these documents can greatly improve the quality and interest level in a unit on the Great Depression and New Deal. The second volume of the American History and Government Core Document Collections – the Great Depression and the New Deal – is available on iTunes, Kindle, and PDF. Hard copies are also available for $10 each, which can be accessed through our Facebook store. Email dmitchell@tah.org for more information.
