001 Why Historians Study History
Manage episode 263764839 series 2698153
History is about people, but what do we know about the people behind history’s scenes?
Who are the people who tell us what we know about our past?
How do they come to know what they know?
Today, we begin our “Doing History” series with an episode about historians and why they do the work that they do featuring Rebecca Onion, History Writer at Slate.com and visiting scholar at Ohio State University, Alan Taylor, two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Thomas Jefferson Chair of American History at the University of Virginia, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and 300th Anniversary University Professor of History at Harvard University, and Caroline Winterer, Director of the Stanford University Humanities Center and co-author of the Mapping the Republic of Letters Project.
