As a graduate student I finally realized the importance of historiography, or the study of historical writing.  I kind of like to call it "the history of history."  Brandon Eldridge recently published a paper about the changing historiography of the Civil War.  In this episode he and I talk bout how important it is for teachers to know the ever-changing landscape of historical study.  Knowing and understanding the different interpretations of history over time and across ideologies helps us as teachers better understand our field.  Furthermore, studying historiography helps students realize that history isn't static and builds critical thinking skills.
