Solid advice for historians of all career levels 😊
Prof Katherine Schofield 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇪🇺@katherineschof8.bsky.social · 8mo agoGreat advice. Mine is this: all good abstracts do the following 1. Background (who what when where) 2. Problem — what's the hole your research addresses? 3. Argument/Hypothesis 4. Evidence — on what basis are you making the argument? 5. Answer the "so what" question — why does this matter? to whom?
Season 1 of PeaceTalk is a wrap! Tune in for our final episode of the year with @mysteriousdrbex.bsky.social! open.spotify.com/episode/3c8q...
