The Leighton Smith Podcast: Sarah Irving-Stonebraker: Wrestling with History in an Ahistorical Age

the podcast on
In our culture today there is a strange set of attitudes toward history.
On one hand there’s a highly politicised approach to the past, in which people care passionately about history’s symbols and what they represent.
And on the other hand, we know less than ever about history.
We have largely ceased to think of ourselves as historical beings; "the past has nothing to teach us”.
Associate Professor of History, Sarah Irving-Stonebraker rationalises the value of history and how it can improve our approach to life.
And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
