This week, ending in September 18 2014:
Today's thread is for open discussion of:
History in the academy
Historiographical disputes, debates and rivalries
Implications of historical theory both abstractly and in application
Philosophy of history
And so on
Regular participants in the Thursday threads should just keep doing what they've been doing; newcomers should take notice that this thread is meant for open discussion only of matters like those above, not just anything you like -- we'll have a thread on Friday for that, as usual.
Have any of you had to deal with link rot in citations while researching?
Is the historiography of historiography studied at all?
Here are two VERY broad questions, so I apologize in advance. How has historiography changed in the past 20 years and how is it currently changing? What can we expect of the future of historical thought?
