Reconnecting With History

Series Home Page

Welcome to my Reconnecting With History series. In this series, I use current events and cultural concerns to explain and explore historical methods and hidden parts of history that are lurking behind the headlines and viral sensations. The goal is to show the context that often eludes us as the rapid news cycles roll over us. If you’re a student of history, or just looking to get a grip on why the world is the way it is, this series will serve as a primer and a resource list for your studies—and, hopefully, provide some decent entertainment and thought provocation along the way.

If you enjoy this series, be sure also to check out my Unfolding the World series, which examines the deep history and geopolitics which have helped shape our current age of crisis, transition, and opportunity.

This page will be continually updated as new installments in the series emerges.
