Description
Professor of History at Birkbeck, University of London · Author of Out of
the Darkness: The Germans 1942 to 2022
The environmental crisis, Gaza, the war in Ukraine—all of those don't make
sense if you don't have a sense of history. History and the humanities have
come under huge pressure. We've seen falling student numbers, and that's a
real shame because history continues to be a source of intellectual
inspiration and curiosity that not only makes us wiser and more reflective
but also creates the dynamism and creativity we need to confront our
present and future challenges. I hope that among the young generations,
there will be people inspired by history, people that have the ambition to
research and write about the past.
