Dr. Laura J. Mitchell, a UC Irvine history professor and the president of the World History Association, talks about her career and her academic pursuits in (colonial) South African history. She shares the story of her love for world history, her insights into how history can be used to see the modern world constructively, and some tips for high school (or college) history lovers and researchers. What an honor it has been to have a conversation with her!
