A collaboration of the Public Humanities at Yale and the New Haven Free Public Library
In this conversation, Professors Kumar and Jacobson examine how historians and literary studies scholars write about the present and for a public audience. Using Amitava Kumar’s Every Day I Write the Book (2020) and Matt Jacobson’s The Historian’s Eye: Photography, History and the American Present (2019), we will engage the various practices, politics and aesthetics of writing publicly and against critical moments like these.
