# Teaching and Researching *On The Line* {#teaching-researching}

This chapter describes how the book emerged through working with liberal arts undergraduates and Hartford-area community partners in the [Cities Suburbs and Schools seminar at Trinity College](http://commons.trincoll.edu/cssp). For educators, this chapter offers lesson ideas to help students of all ages explore key questions about past and present topics raised in the book. For historical researchers, this chapter describes some of the methods and source materials consulted in creating this book, and some questions that remain unresolved. By making our work process more transparent, we hope to inspire people to educate others and engage in further research on topics in this book.
