I call my channel and substack "MakingHistory" because that's sort of the top-level thing I do. I write and talk about the past for my students at the university and for my audience online. I try to call attention to events and interpretations that are not necessarily the ones that receive the most attention. Sometimes I challenge the "master narrative", which I define as the events of the past most commonly focused upon and the explanations of why they mattered and what caused them to happen. Since history is not the past itself, but is rather narratives and claims about causality and meaning, I think what I do could be called making history.
And we so need to know history as the past ways and people influenced generations to come. Thank you, Dan, for Historiography.
