Researcher's projects

  • Big and Little Histories: Sizing Up Ethics in Historiography (2018–2020) Why do histories come in various sizes, and why are they written on different time and geographical scales? This project—under contract with Routledge—teases out the role of ethics in shaping the scales of histories. It explores the range of histories, from microhistories to big histories, and uses this as a means of asking whether our current codes of ethical conduct for history need to be expanded and revised.
  • This will be the second volume in an intended four book series which explores the imprint of Aristotle's thought on the discipline of history.
