Have historical perspectives ‘mattered’ to policy-making? Yes and no. On the ‘no’ side, senior policy makers may talk to historians, but don’t necessarily think they should heed us if we are saying something outside of the main narrative. #PandemicMethodologies.
On the ‘yes’ side, we get invited to more meetings. There are lots of interviews and media work. Sometimes important people tell me historical work is so important. But influence feels pretty indirect. Maybe history is running in the background? #PandemicMethodologies #PanHist
#PandemicMethodologies All the things we do to reach out matter. Public talks have always been sustaining for me. There’s give and take. I listen to pandemic stories people tell me. And share my favourite #PanHist work like @kelmme and Brenda Child.
