#25 Sidebar: Taking Stock

Our 25th episode is a Sidebar, “Taking Stock.” I talk about the origins of the podcast, and how its approach to history fits in with today’s trends in scholarship, including the “Atlantic World” and #VastEarlyAmerica. Oh, and I rant about the weaponization of history for partisan political purposes, and the many reasons why we should all avoid doing that. I hope you find it interesting! Selected references for this episode Karin Wulff, “Vast Early America” Thomas Benjamin, The Atlantic World: Europeans, Africans, Indians and their Shared History, 1400–1900
