This statewide conference focused on issues, challenges, and opportunities associated with introductory courses in US and world history that many students will encounter at several stages in their education, whether in middle and high schools, community colleges, or four-year universities. Attendees participated in workshops, networked with colleagues from across the region, and heard from leading history educators. We invited educators at all levels to join us in discussing our shared interest in student success.<\/p>\n<p>The conference was free to attend and meals were provided.<\/p>\n<h4>Program Highlights<\/h4>\n<p>View the full program <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historians.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2025-Texas-Conference-on-Introductory-History-Courses-FINAL-Edited.pdf\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Attendees had opportunities to discuss the implications of artificial intelligence, state legislative developments, and the K\u201312 social studies standards revisions currently underway.

Her research is focused on the intersection of politics and public policy. \u00a0Her teaching focuses on political history, public policy development and immigration history. Dr. Coleman is the author of The Walls Within: The Politics of Immigration in Modern America (Princeton University Press, 2021) which traces the struggle of politicians, activists, interest groups, communities and the courts to define the rights of immigrants in the United States after the passage of the Hart-Celler Act of 1965. \u00a0\u00a0The Walls Within was named the winner of the Theodore Saloutos Book Award for best book on any aspect of the immigration history of the United States from the Immigration and Ethnic History Society.\u00a0Dr. Coleman\u2019s current research explores the political power and impact of Sam Rayburn, a figure whose influence in the corridors of American power and policymaking resonated for more than half a century. Sam Rayburn served as Speaker of the House of Representatives three separate times for a total of over 17 years. \u00a0Through previously unexplored archival materials, this work will provide new insights Rayburn\u2019s leadership and decision-making and how Congress successfully passed legislation that addressed questions of grave consequence for the nation during Rayburn\u2019s time. \u00a0This work will offer critical lessons for today on addressing partisan polarization, building consensus, developing institutional respect, and achieving bipartisan legislative accomplishments. Dr. Coleman holds a BA from Yale University, a MPhil from the University of Cambridge and a PhD in History from Princeton University. \u00a0She was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Presidential History at Southern Methodist University.<\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-cap-360 alignright wp-image-104887 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.historians.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/SWC-Headshot-UNC-Press-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>Sharron Conrad, Professor, Tarrant County College<br \/>\n<\/b>Sharron Conrad is Professor of History at Tarrant County College in Fort Worth, Texas, and a Senior Fellow at Southern Methodist University&#8217;s Center for Presidential History.
