Why Study Modern History?
Ever wonder what happens to historical events once they disappear from the evening news? Too old for the news cycle but too new for the textbooks, they fall into a history black hole.
Maybe a podcaster will reference 9/11 or COVID-19…and maybe major news will remember them on their anniversary, but for the most part we forget and they slip into a space where we don’t talk about them…and even worse, we don’t learn from them.
How can we expect to raise historically literate young people who own their place as civic minded adults if they can’t study the history that affects them the most.
How can we expect this generation to build on the lessons of the past if they don’t know the stories or events that continue to shape the politics and economy today?
You Can’t Wait For Textbooks To Catch Up
It can decades for historical events to make it into textbooks. DECADES..10…20…30… years! That means the study of history is actually skipping the generation it affects the most!
Even if it is in the textbook, most events get a few paragraphs…and current modern history is at the back of the book which you may or may not get to.
There is a better way!
Instead of waiting decades, you can let your students study current modern history in courses created from high quality great books and source texts.
Don’t trust textbooks and courses? No worries…every fact is footnoted and linked to the original source!
