For Educators

Contingent publishes accessible, engaging, well-researched pieces on history, the work of doing history, and the community of people involved in that work. If you’re looking for ways to bring Contingent into your classroom, we’ve organized our content here by theme to help you get started.

If you’re already using Contingent in your teaching, we’d love it if you took a moment to tell us a bit about your experiences using the form at the bottom of the page. You can also share ideas about how we can make it easier for you to use the magazine in your teaching and suggest topics and questions you’d like us to tackle in the future.
