This late-breaking session brings historians from different geographies and time periods together in a roundtable to debate the potentialities of history in the present. Scholars of the Third Reich have suggested that the Nazi past is a guide to what’s happening now. But is it a guide, a warning, a mirror – or what methods does it offer for discerning the contemporary and its futures? The goal here is not answers but usable, even teachable, models for grappling with how historical ways of thinking and knowing can serve us as we reckon with our own expertise and strive to put it to use in the world right now.
