Eastern Michigan University to celebrate #GIVINGTRUEDAY on Nov. 30.
Creating Connections
If you thought studying history was just about memorizing the names of dead U.S. Presidents and blowing dust off books in library basements, then you haven’t attended a lecture or workshop led by Kevin Boyle.
“To me, history really matters,” says Boyle, professor of American History at Northwestern University and M. Thelma McAndless Distinguished Professor Chair in the Humanities at EMU for 2021-22. “History is about how we got to be who we are and where we are. For example, our childhood has undoubtedly shaped who we are as adults. The broader experience of our collective past does that, too. It’s not just an abstraction—we know it happens in our own lives.”
