It seems like so many of our problems and the rapid rise in political and ideological polarization in 2018 comes from a real lack of History in education. How can we make this a priority (in the west, I suppose) and give historians some confidence again?

Thanks!

I remember feeling so useless during my history undergrad. Everyone involved seemed so insular, whereas you could use this knowledge to help understand the motivations behind North Korea or why Brexit happened and be more comfortable with the world!

That's doubly-shameful since the extrajudicial Human Rights Committees in Canada only exist for hearing every case under the sun - no matter how niche or seemingly ludicrous. It's a great disappointment that they couldn't listen to a sane argument.
