Professor Jeremi Suri.
Jeremi Suri, E. Gordon Fox Professor of History and Director of the European Union Center of Excellence, is trying something new this fall.
Suri's "History 600-Grand Strategy: Historical Lessons and Contemporary Applications" seminar is trying out Kindles, Amazon.com's electronic reader.
These twenty students are a part of a pilot project at UW to test out and trial Kindles in the classroom. The students are reading all eight required texts for the course on the gadget.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel recently featured a story about the new project, "UW students hitting the e-books in trial."
