The Diffusion of Knowledge and Controversy

Joyce Appleby This article, originally a talk given in March 1997 at the Smithsonian Institution, was brought to the attention of the guest editors by Laura McKie, assistant director for education at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. As a museum educator, Laura found this talk particularly meaningful to our profession and across disciplines, and she has written an introduction. Joyce Appleby is a professor of American history at the University of California, Los Angeles, and is immediate past president of the American Historical Association.
