CI-H177 Honors- the Curious and Open-Hearted Historian
Curiosity, open-heartedness, and creativity are essential to historical thinking. Our curiosity about the past motivates us to unearth it and make it knowable to modern audiences. Likewise, empathy and/or open-heartedness to the ideas and actions of others & enables us to put ourselves in the shoes of earlier peoples and to understand their lives from their perspective. Harnessing our creativity (or ingenuity and playfulness) permits us to think imaginatively about our research topic and question, analytical framework, research methods, research findings, and modes of communicating history. Each of these attributes - curiosity, open-heartedness, and creativity - are essential not just to historical inquiry, but also to life-long learning and problem solving.
