What Will Be Different for Historians in a Changing America?

Some U.S. historians have become increasingly visible, vocal, and even radicalized in response to today’s political climate, the implications of U.S. Government policy shifts, and the decisions of their peers to speak out, or remain silent, on current affairs. What is the ethical and responsible role of historians in public discourse, particularly when “alternative facts” have become commonplace and history itself is called into question?

Curated by Brian Tate as part of the series, What Will Be Different: Conversations On a Changing America.
