The Bellingham City Club’s July 22 meeting will feature a talk by Associate Professor of History Daniel Chard on “Authoritarianism in the U.S.” Chard will draw from his research on U.S. history, the Cold War and national security to discuss how debates over terrorism have led to abuses of executive power and erosions of democratic norms that have helped set the stage for the present crisis of American democracy.

I have spent the past several years standing in Bellingham elementary classrooms, not as a parent of an elementary student, though I am one, but as a teacher educator. I teach science methods courses at Western Washington University, and every quarter I bring my students into Bellingham Public Schools classrooms for practicum placements. My research focuses on self-efficacy and sense of belonging, the conditions that determine whether a child believes they can succeed.

The event featured guest conductors Paul Bain, director of bands at Western Washington University, who led the high school honor band, and Dr. Ken Bergevin, a retired music educator, who conducted the middle school honor band.
