Previous weeks!

This week, ending in August 10 2017:

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.
