September 8

"Trump Versus History: How Trump is trying to change our sense of who we are."

About the program: We have opened the gates of historical knowledge to myriad new subjects and methods that have educated a largely curious and willing world. Now we have to mobilize to defend our profession not only with research and teaching but in the realm of politics and public persuasion. David Blight talks with some fellow academics on how we fight to preserve our history AND democracy.

With David Blight, Sterling Professor, American History, Yale University; James Grossman, historian; Leslie Harris, professor, History and Black Studies, Northwestern University.; Amna Khalid, associate professor, History, Carleton College
