This week, ending in October 06 2016:
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.
Teachers and collectors of history! Please swing by /u/TeachingHistory's thread on What artifacts can I bring to get my general world history undergrads pumped about the past? with some advice and experience!
