History, Disrupted. Disrupt history.

The guest speaker, Jason Steinhauer, coined the term "history communicators" during our Public Speaking class, drawing parallels to science communicators. He discussed the proliferation of historical content online and its impact on public perceptions, emphasizing the challenges of verifying accuracy. Jason highlighted various mechanisms by which e-history gains visibility on social media platforms, stressing the importance of critical evaluation before accepting historical narratives online. While providing insights into the complexities of e-history, the talk didn't directly align with the speaker's interests in policy and research aspects of communication.
