activehistory.ca - 7 views

  •  
    An interesting blog from Canada seeking to collect a, um, collection (it's the first day of the holidays and my frontal lobe still has not recovered from the marking season. Sorry...) of articles by historians which are relevant to the broader community. His argument that history has become too specialised and irrelevant is compelling. It gels with much of what I experienced at university, anyway. As I've said before, I use a blog reader (e.g. Google Reader, Bloglines) to collect these types of sites into one place. I get many of the sites I post to the group that way.

    Thanks for this excellent link, Daniel. Those Canadians seem to have some pretty good ideas on how to study history.

    Two weeks ago I heard a conference by Peter Seixas (the Canadian who is behind these benchmarks) and it was absolutely inspiring... if ever you have the opportunity, go and see and hear him talking about history teaching!
