"...But this kind of paradoxical thinking is absolutely essential to the history classroom and public debates over American identity." https://t.co/ftDhUN9YJJ #historicalthinking #paradox #unnaturalacts #whystudyhistory #sschat #historyteacher #twitterstorians @whyy
"I talked about poor uses of history on the right and the left. But my colleagues saw only the critique of the left. And they’re not used to seeing those.” https://t.co/OaS7g3DZIG #twitterstorians #jamessweet #whystudyhistory
Jelani Cobb: “I would like to see our graduates walking out the door with 50 years of contextual knowledge on the beats they cover” https://t.co/eCSUCzsWLD #whystudyhistory
Working on my Intro to History syllabus right now. On week 3 I'll make the case for a useable past, & how history informs the present. On week 4 I'll argue in the same way James Sweet does in his @AHAhistorians piece. #whystudyhistory
I finally got around to reading the twitterstorm about #presentism. Have any of these critics ever taught a methods class? Why is there so little about undergraduate teaching in these critiques of Sweet’s column? #aha #whystudyhistory
@philvischer @DennLL @SkyeJethani @ChristiansVoice Or at least those would be the five things my history students would need to have in order get close to an "A" on a final exam essay question asking them to discuss the origins of the Christian Right. #context #complexity #changeovertime #contingency #causation #whystudyhistory
What can you do with a history major? Become the CEO of a renewal energy investment company in Nigeria and be the 11th president of @calvin_uni. Boer has a Ph.D in African history from Yale. https://t.co/YnGewzzxei #historymajor #twitterstorians #whystudyhistory

This piece ends up in the right place, but I have small quibbles with how it got there. https://t.co/gvIE5f1S0D #whystudyhistory #twitterstorians #sschat #historyteacher
The most frustrating part for people in my field of work is that we did not learn much from history. How many people died because we failed to take seriously the lessons of the past? https://t.co/jP6mi3QPrr #whystudyhistory #COVID19
I think the “heritage” of the American people is a lot more complex than this. Let’s look at the past directly in eye and not dismiss it. This seems like the most Christian thing to do. #whystudyhistory
While the challenges facing us today are daunting, the American people come from a rich heritage of freedom-loving patriots who stand boldly in the face of tyranny. Let's follow our ancestor's example as we face the challenges of our day!

My Intro to History students identified all five "Cs" of historical thinking in the story of the "Umbrella Man": https://t.co/51TrUtMRVk #nicework #whystudyhistory #historicalthinking #UmbrellaMan
In my view, both gymnasts were heroic. They were also both products of their time. A lot can change in twenty-five years, including the meaning of “heroic.” https://t.co/08FKrhA6z2 #kerristrug #simonebiles #Olympics #Olympics2020 #whystudyhistory #twitterstorians #Gymnastics

"Shaner said her clients had poor educations and knew very little about the country. Her two female clients took to the task with zeal...and got library cards for the first time in their lives." https://t.co/vAAjSfmpKt #twitterstorians #January6thInsurrection #whystudyhistory
"History is complicated. Facts need context. And teachers need the freedom to raise the difficult questions that prod our next generation of citizens to think about what it means to be...an American." https://t.co/LeqGllXtHw #whystudyhistory #historicalthinking #twitterstorians
