1. Define public history and discuss the work and roles of public historians.

2. A prominent historian recently declared that, "In a 'post-truth' age of 'alternative facts' and 'fake news,' historians must ask fundamental questions about our public roles. We might think of ourselves as above the fray; viewing developments with a certain detachment. But as soon as we enter the classroom, we become historical actors whose choices have broad consequences. We have a moral obligation to think seriously about how we, as a discipline, can help strengthen democratic institutions." Discuss this assertion and what it means for contemporary historians. 

3. "Only the vanquished remember history," or, "History is written by the victors." Discuss which claim is more true, and why? Give examples. 

4. Discuss recent trends to make the study of history more inclusive. Give examples.
