The academic study of history—perhaps due as much to the field’s breadth as to its oft-debated aims—has long served as a venue for modern social, cultural, and political conflicts to unfold. Seldom has this been more apparent than today, with history departments increasingly plagued by questions that reflect ongoing debates within the broader society. How can the field navigate these tensions, both long-standing and new? What can we expect from the discipline’s future?
For the third in a series of events on the academic disciplines, join us as AEI’s Allen C. Guelzo leads a discussion of the past, present, and future of the study of history with Anthony Grafton (Princeton University), Susan Hanssen (University of Dallas), and William Anthony Hay (Arizona State University).
