Tackle the questions of the past with the tools of the future
Today’s historians must make sense of ever-growing volumes of data using digital tools. From text mining and GIS to network analysis and AI, digital history opens new pathways for exploring the past.

Politics aside, moving Space Force command to Huntsville makes a lot of sense. I get that y'all think everyone that lives in Alabama is Billy Bob at the liquor store in his stars and bars hat with three teeth, but it takes .5 seconds to google "NASA + Huntsville" and correct your assumptions.

Solveig Marie Wang shows how medieval stories reveal the Saami at the heart of the Nordic world — and why recognising their history matters in the fight against racism and far-right myths.
