9. Historiography

We tend to think of history as a settled collection of facts—a timeline of events that happened in a specific way. But is it really that simple? In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the historian's craft to explore the fascinating and often-debated field of historiography: the study of how history is written. Join us as we investigate how the story of the past is constructed. We'll discuss how was told and what it was used for. This episode is for anyone who wants to move beyond simply knowing what happened to understanding why we're told it happened in a certain way. Hosted on Acast.
