Department of History: From the Chairperson

The American Historical Association has posted an article highlighting the growing popularity of Africa: Past and Present, hosted by Professors Peter Alegi and Peter Limb.

Podcasts continue to gain popularity in both social and academic realms, becoming a routine part of Internet lingo.

Peter Alegi, associate professor in history at Michigan State University (MSU), and Peter Limb, adjunct associate professor in history at MSU and Africana bibliographer, host each program. “Our mission,” they explain, “is to broaden the availability and accessibility of cutting-edge knowledge relating to African experiences and to do so in a down-to-earth and informed manner.”

Check out the post at http://blog.historians.org/; later this week the AHA blog will feature a Q&A session with Professor Peter Alegi.
