Our Mission
Connecting people to the history around them.
Historically Modern began as a twelve-month-long project organized by a Canadian graduate student who wanted to challenge the institutional barrier between scholarship and the wider public. Now, after receiving passionate support, we are coming back for Volume 2! Together with a small (but mighty) team of Canadians, this is a community-driven site created to make academic research more accessible. Each month, one collaborator will publish an article on any area of history as it relates to their specializations and research interests. These short articles are meant to be casual introductions to the next generation of emerging female and genderqueer researchers, who each have completed (at minimum) their first year of a Master's program in history (or a related field). While this is not a peer-reviewed site, this project is dedicated to producing quality content, and we hope that each article sparks conversations, inspires learning, and challenges preconceived notions about history's relevance today.
