{"value"=>"<p>The Teaching Files reflect Herskovits' career, beginning in the 1960s, as an educator teaching at Brooklyn College, the City University of New York, Brown University, Columbia University, and Purchase College. With an emphasis on Africa's history, the files indicate that Herskovits mostly taught undergraduates. The bulk of the files reflect her long tenure at Purchase College located in Harrison, New York. These files are mostly preparatory notes for classroom instructions and class outlines. The subjects include Africa (general) and Nigeria, and focus on history, the economy, and political systems.</p> <p>The Swarthmore College Undergraduate Studies files hold classroom papers and notes for Herskovits' studies as an undergrad. Most of this material focuses on European history and general world history. The notes are located in notebooks and notes written on index cards. While some similar topics were grouped together, most notes lack an arrangement.</p>"}
