How to Get to the Truth in History
Manage episode 377913898 series 3090962
It’s not as easy as it sounds. Just because someone says something, doesn’t necessarily make it true. This goes for the average person, the journalist, the politician, and, yes, even historians. Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim discuss some of the topics that have come under attack in fraudulent ways, but more importantly, they discuss how to go about studying history, how to think about history and sources, and how sometimes we can’t know the full scope of a historical moment until we have all (or at least as much as possible) the information.
