Bonus: History, Disrupted with Jason Steinhauer

Bonus epsiode: Jason Steinhauer, global fellow at the Wilson Center and senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, joins Kelly McFarland, ISD Director of Programs and Research, to discuss his new book, History, Disrupted: How Social Media and the World Wide Web Have Changed the Past.  The book takes a deep dive into how the Web has changed what type of history we view online, and how we view it as users. He also takes a look at what might lie ahead.  What does all of this mean for historians and historical studies? Is it creating a world full of students and citizens with a greater historical knowledge? What possible connection does it have to future foreign policy making?  In addition to his work at the Wilson Center and the Foreign Policy Research Institute, Jason is a contributor to TIME and CNN; a past editorial board member of the Washington Post's "Made By History" section; and a presidential counselor of the National WWII Museum.  ​ In 2020, he founded the History Club on Clubhouse, which he hosts regularly. The club has more than 100,000 members and averages 2,500 participants per week.  Episode recorded: January 19, 2022.  Produced by Alistair Somerville and Kelly McFarland.  Episode image: Watching Darkness Fall cover [MacMillan Publishers] Diplomatic Immunity: Frank and candid conversations about diplomacy and foreign affairs Diplomatic Immunity, a podcast from the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy at Georgetown University, brings you frank and candid conversations with experts on the issues facing diplomats and national security decision-makers around the world.  Funding support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.  For more, visit our website, and follow us on Twitter @GUDiplomacy.
