About the program

Even more importantly, history is the language in which you must be literate in order to understand any human culture, including your own. The past is the laboratory in which we analyze the human condition, the only “experiment” we have to refer to. We live in a world constructed out of the decisions of previous generations; recognizing how those choices were made in the past is an essential first step to making informed choices in the present.
