ECW Establishes Education Department

Emerging Civil War is proud to announce the establishment of an Education Department.

This Education Department will support our Chief Historian to provide public history endeavors, community programs, and foster engagement with the next generation of Civil War historians. “Our goal is to continue finding emerging voices and to provide opportunities to help them develop, and this new Education Department will help up reach audiences and scholars we previously have not yet been able to,” ECW editor-in-chief Neil P. Chatelain noted.

Founded by ECW member Madeline Feierstein, she serves as the Department’s manager, and will answer to our Chief Historian. Emerging Civil War will offer virtual and in-person programming throughout the year for research and skill-building workshops, as well as guided tours. ECW plans to expand its outreach in higher education and K-12 schools through internship opportunities and essay contests.

Education Department:

Angela Zombek, Chief Historian
Madeline Feierstein, Education Department Manager
Sam Flowers, Education Coordinator

Please direct all questions and inquiries to Madeline: madeline.feierstein@gmail.com

To commemorate the Education Department’s establishment, our first series of virtual workshops will take place in early 2027. These workshops will provide a space for a small group of individuals to learn from our historians firsthand. Cost for each workshop is $10.
