I was grateful to host my first in-person event in Canada last week. We had a full house! We who work in the Humanities must continue to get out and start discussions, listen to the community, and reinforce the fact that the Humanities matter. thetattooedhistorian.substack.com/p/the-past-b...

historians, every day:
