The Historical Present
21 September 2022
19 October 2024
Do you remember the Suez Crisis, Soviet Union, using a phone box, smoking on planes or 9/11?
In this week’s podcast, we discuss the historical present. When does our historical frame of reference start and when does it end? We look at why young people seem to overgeneralise from their experience and whether knowledge and values are generation-specific. We discuss the Beloit College Mindset Lists, the British sitcom Are you Being Served?, and Mini-discs, before finally testing our own subjective timeline from a list of historical events.
