Understanding the Times

If you want to study history, start by studying the historian. And before you do that, look closely at the world that shaped them— the social and historical forces of their time.

What matters most is perspective. To truly understand the past, you need to see it through the lens of its own era. Only then can you become a thoughtful historian— and maybe even help shape a better future. Reading the times is where it all begins.
