"The function of the historian is neither to love the past nor to emancipate himself from the past, but to master and understand it as the key to the understanding of the present." Edward Hallett Carr, 1892-1982, British historian. As historians, we are not supposed to live in the past, but to understand it. My topic is Writing History and Writing it efficiently. The problem with writing history is, to people other than historians, it comes off as boring.
Some questions I would like to research are; Can Academic history reach wider audiences, without compromising its integrity? What are some ways to expand the field of History? How can reading and writing history help during the day to day life?
