thoughts on history

I have mentioned the History News Network before, but I want to point you to this excellent and thought-provoking article by Eric Foner, one of the great American historians:
Rethinking American History in a Post-9/11 World

My Historical Methods students should feel free to discuss this article for the paper you are writing this week. The other articles we are reading are:

Peter N. Stearns, “Why Study History?”

David Oshinsky, “Humpty Dumpty of Scholarship: History Has Broken Into Pieces”

Gerald W. Schlabach, “A Sense of History: Some Components”
