Episode Synopsis

Send us a textAs a graduate student I finally realized the importance of historiography, or the study of historical writing.  I kind of like to call it "the history of history."  Brandon Eldridge recently published a paper about the changing historiography of the Civil War.  In this episode he and I talk bout how important it is for teachers to know the ever-changing landscape of historical study.  Knowing and understanding the different interpretations of history over time and across ideologies helps us as teachers better understand our field.  Furthermore, studying historiography helps students realize that history isn't static and builds critical thinking skills.Read Brandon Eldridge's paper here: https://openspaces.unk.edu/grad-review/vol1/iss1/7/Get in touch with Brandon: http://eldridgehistory.com or on Twitter @eldridgehistoryLet's be Friends!Instagram: @teachinghistoryherwayTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/historyherwayFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/teachinghistoryherwayOn the Web/Blog: http://www.teachinghistoryherway.comLet's be friends and continue the conversation!Instagram: @teachinghistoryherwayX: http://www.twitter.com/historyherwayOn the Web/Blog: http://www.teachinghistoryherway.comFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/teachinghistoryherwayBlueSky: @historyherway.bsky.socialSupport the production of the Teaching History Her Way Podcast by purchasing some really great history tees.
