History Day 2023 – History under the microscope
Moderator: Miri Shefer-Mossensohn | Participants: Ana Antic, Elise K. Burton and Anita Radini
This conversation focused broadly on historical methods by examining the different ways these three scholars approach their sources (psychiatric records, genetic science, dust on teeth), using them to ask much bigger questions about society (violence, nationalism, craft and occupations). Because the work of all three connects in different ways with scientific disciplines – whether through methods or sources – this was also be a chance to consider the wider relationship between history and science.
