MakingHistory

Making History is the top-level thing I do, as a historian, teacher, and writer. I create content, based on either original primary research or to present the findings of other historians to my students. This channel will cover several topics I am researching or teaching, and reflections on the ways that history helps us understand our current world. danallosso.substack.com

The Future of Publishing

MakingHistory ·

2024/06/18

In the Spring of 2021 I discovered my book, Peppermint Kings, was not selling that well in a letter from the Yale Press. This led me to think a bit about the future of academic publishing. And trade publishing. And self publishing. This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit danallosso.substack.com/subscribe

Returning to a Text

MakingHistory ·

2024/06/17

Re-looking at texts can lead to new insights, since we are often reading with particular goals in mind, even if we’re not entirely aware of this fact. I had this experience when I returned to a book I had previously read for my environmental history field and discovered it contained a lot of good info about my new research topic, the lumber industry.

2024/06/16

We discuss the middle chapters of Tim Lacy’s book a bit, and catch up on what else is going on.

Notes on Taleb

MakingHistory ·

2024/06/15

While Nassim Taleb’s book Antifragile is clearly not history, I think it informs my thinking about history in the some of the same ways a book by someone like David Graeber might. This is also a bit of a demonstration of how I process highlights into reading notes. This is a public episode.

Neolithic Agricultural Revolution

MakingHistory ·

2024/06/13

A post that I made, partly celebrating the inclusion of my World History textbook into the Open Textbook Library. The transition from hunting and gathering to horticulture and ultimately to agriculture has fascinated me for years. This video comes from before Graeber and Wengrow published The Dawn of Everything, but I think it’s still relevant. This is a public episode.

GTD Thoughts

MakingHistory ·

2024/06/13

I actually read Getting Things Done a while back and I found it had some interesting insights. I don’t typically love these types of things (too many years in business listening to people rave about one-minute management or seven habits of highly effective people). It was interesting that David Allen talked about what I recognized as zettelkasten! This is a public episode.

Early Thoughts on Retrieval

2024/06/09

Retrieval Practice ideas from a couple of summers ago, when I was preparing the short course I have facilitated several times for Minnesota State faculty. As I was learning about the research, I was trying to connect the ideas with note-making. I was also a bit skeptical about some of the articles I was reading. This is a public episode.
