That's right! Next week, we'll be having a symposium on "The Philosophy of the Historical Sciences" at EPSA25 in Groningen. Next to us, @adrian-currie.bsky.social will also be part of it. My own contribution will be about hindsight and its epistemic valence. Let's link up if you're also at EPSA25!

1. History isn’t there to be liked or disliked. 2. History is there to be learned from. 3. History offends you? Even better. Then you’re less likely to repeat it. It’s that simple.

National park rangers at sites devoted to moral atrocities cannot speak “negatively” about American history
Here is Owen Clarke at Outside: New messaging posted at U.S. national parks and historic sites is requesting that park visitors report “any signs or other information that are negative about either past or living Americans.” According to The Colorado Sun, signs with the directive were posted on Friday, June 13, at the Amache National Historic Site in eastern Colorado.

Great to see such a positive review of History Education and Historical Inquiry (2024) in the Teachers College Record. The book was a labour of love by many hand. Great to see the results so positively appreciated in a leading journal in the international educational community, therefore. 1/2
