Presentism in Teaching History: A Webinar with Professional Historians

The trend of presentism in history has caused sufficient controversy over the past year to garner mainstream media coverage in The Atlantic, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and more. This webinar features six professional historians going beyond the headlines to explore the trend of presentism in teaching history. Drawing on their teaching experience as well as their recent exclusive articles in the digital resource 'Bloomsbury History: Theory & Method', each historian discusses their article in turn, including how its subject matter lends itself to presentism, before turning to a panel discussion and Q&A about the overall trend of presentism in teaching. This event is chaired by Associate Professor Tyson Retz, who is a member of the editor team for 'Bloomsbury History: Theory & Method'. Learn more about Professor Retz and the other speakers below.
