As featured in The Washington PostThe AtlanticThe Bulwark, and Education Week, among others, “Defusing the History Wars,” is an analysis of how Americans perceive U.S. history and how it should be taught.

Join us as we discuss:

  • Evidence that Republicans and Democrats agree on far more than we think
  • Why we feel so divided on the topic of U.S. history
  • Recommendations on how we can defuse these “wars”

Discussion will also include a brief overview of our latest report, “Americans’ Views on MLK Day,” with lead researcher, Coco Xu.
