History Matters

Dr. Watkins explores events in a colonial African State with Africanist historian, Dr. Chau Kelly. Both professors talk about the importance of micro history and the importance of understanding how small events can show correlation in political, social, and cultural issues. Dr. Kelly is an associate professor at UNF, and has done extensive research on a poisoning event that occurred in 1923.

Dr. Daniel Watkins interviews Dr. Theo Prousis on his work on Eastern Europe in the early 19th century. The UNF History Matters Podcast thanks Dr. Prousis for being our first guest and the UNF History Department for allowing us to host this interview in their facility.
