Listen "Thinking Historically with Dr. Catherine O'Donnell - Why Should We Think Historically?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Thinking Historically About, we go back to the basics. Why should we think historically? What is historical thinking? Why does it matter. Our guest is Dr. Catherine O'Donnell, Professor of History at Arizona State University. Dr. O'Donnell is an early Americanist by training, having published works on women, religion, and intellectual aspects of early American history. Dr. O'Donnell, who also sits on Thinking Nation's board, brings us back to the foundations of historical thinking in this conversation. We hope this conversation is a great way to ground social studies and history teachers at the beginning of the school year.
