Just to introduce yourselves a bit Hey guys, My name is Barry and i am studying history in college, and i am a memeber of the socialist party of Ireland
I'm a History major at Georgia State University in Atlanta. I was a member of the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade for 6 years and am now a member of the Kasama Project. My current concentration is the Middle East & Islamic world, but am thinking about transferring to a school where I can pursue a masters' degree and PhD in history with a concentration in Russia and the former USSR.
I just graduated with a history major from the University of Washington. My main field was Korean history with an emphasis on labor and religious movements in modern Korea.
I study history at uni and am currently working on a thesis covering the first programme of the Belgian workers' party.
I am hoping to major in history when I am get into college. I am very interested in American history, the Russian Revolution, pre-WWII Europe, etc, etc, but my big thing is the Golden Age of Piracy (1700-1730)
I was sort-of a history student in college, we created our own majors. I mostly studied 20th cent. latin american history, particularly social movement. I wrote my thesis on the FLQ of Canada.
I haven't taken any History papers yet (I'm a Sociology/English double major, just finishing my first year), but I am planning on using my spare course spaces (not devoted to either of my majors) by taking one History paper ("USA History: Colonial - Present", which has quite an emphasis on social movements, labour disputes and so on) some Latin American Studies ("Intro to Iberian and Latin American Civilization", then "Music, Politics and Social Change") and an Asian Studies paper ("Images of Asia", Overall view of Asia, which will involve studying colonial and imperialist forces that shaped the region today, and so on etc). At my Uni taking those papers is the best way for me to study as much history with left-wing conclusions as possible while still maintaining my Socio/English major. Since if I committed to History I'd have to waste a few of those slots on bland Stage I papers to get to the cool shit.
I'm currently writing my masterthesis at the University of Amsterdam on the Dutch workers movement on the eve of the first world war. With a focus on both the decision of the SDAP to not join the government in 1913 after a major electoral win and to support war credits one year later. The real issue however is the influence marxists within the SDAP and those in the SDP had on these decisions.
G'day, I'm interested in history because I'm a communist... ...and because I'm the daughter of a teacher of history, I've sorta absorbed a fair bit by osmosis. Anyway, I'll look forward to what comes up in this group.
I am a student of fine art illustration and study history on my own time (I often find myself correcting the teacher). I would like to write and illustrate a history of the twentieth century. I am interested in the effects of military industrial empire on western liberal democracy, the global socialist movement, and the rise of fascism.
Hello. I am a "professional historian". (sorry) west european history. in a previous life i have completed formal academic research work related to byzantium, the reformation, the intebelic period and heretical judeo-christian theological movements. the late howard zinn is my hero-istorian. my interest: the "marxist heresy" of the "asiatic mode of production" and oriental despotism as its political "superstructure"; as it may or may not apply to byzantium, han china, the short lived mormon "state of deseret" (in pre-1848 Utah) and pre-revolutionary russia.
Hy everyone, I'm a 18 years old high-school student, and I only studied history as a hobby. I'm interested in anything related to communism worker struggles etc. and in Japanese and Byzantine history.
Hello, everyone. I first became interested in specifically leftist history when I came across 'The Vampire Economy' by Guenter Reimann and 'The Triumph of Conservatism' by Gabriel Kolko, both of which demonstrate that the perpetual interventionist economy is actually anti-socialist. Another favorite of mine is Harry Elmer Barnes, who has similar critiques of the interventionist and moralizing tendencies in Progressivism.
Hi, I'm a soon-to-be-history student, and former architecture student. The latter didn't work out, but the (fascinating!) architectural history segment of the course convinced me to switch to history- both because it was the only part I was actually interested in, and the only part I was actually any good at. I'm interested in the Modern History (because it's important), Classical history (because it is fascinating), and Early Medieval British history (because I am hopelessly provincial).
I have an honours BA in history and philosophy and I'm currently working on my PhD in history in Melbourne, Australia. I teach history and international studies alongside.
Hi All! Excited to find explicit historians. I am currently teaching English in France but will start my PhD in the near future. I finished my masters at LSE emphasizing comparative colonialism, but also a number of other topics. I did my undergrad at UW and I'm pretty sure I knew the above poster Shin Honyong, but he doesn't appear active anymore The historians that most influenced my understanding of history are: The whole Communist Party Historians Group, especially Hobsbawm and Kiernan Dominic Lieven John Darwin Vicente Rafael Ann Stoler Fredrick Cooper Robin Blackburn C.L.R. James Michael Mann Robert Paxton A.J.P. Taylor Ronald Hyam I tried to pick out people who were more historians than agitators, but obviously if I mentioned them too I could go on forever. ALWAYS eager to correspond with other historians, my areas of strongest expertise are: History of Empire/Comparative Colonialism, most especially British and American but also fluent in a half dozen more Imperial systems and conversational in another half dozen. Also fluent in general theories of Empire, theories originating from multiple disciplines, not just History but Literary Studies and Sociology or Political Science. American Labor History, especially Depression Era. Actually the Interwar period in all of Europe/the US and a few other countries, the First and Second World War, and maybe even general European history since the French Revolution. History and Theorization of Nationalism, including most of its variants, from fascism to anti-colonial nationalism.
Hi, I'm Thomas and in a few months I'll be a History student at St Andrews. I've always been very interested in history - or all different time periods. More recently I've become drawn to the late 18th, 19th and 20th centuries as I have become more interested in class conflicts and the development of socialist movements.
Hi I'm interested in the history of left communist organisations that have existed in the UK especially during the inter war years. I've carried out research into the NUWM but since coming across the UWM of the same period I'm looking for any info on them. Consider myself a Marxist historian.
Hey, Im new here, but I have a huge interest in history, which is why i joined this group!
I have no degrees as of yet, but my huge interest in history inevitably draws me towards it. Plus I spend hours browsing web pages on any history subjects that catch my attention. My memory for most things is pretty crappy, but when it comes to history it's quite the opposite lol
Hello everyone, my name is Ashton, and I am currently a student of anthropology and history working on my bachelor's degree. My recent study focus has been on the historical switch between industrial capitalism in the so-called "developed countries", to imperialist capitalism and economic slavery perpetrated by the core countries against the periphery/third world.
Hello, name is Austin, and have just started college as a history student. Specifically wanting to study labor history.
Hello, my name is Boone and I am majoring in History at Lake Superior State University. I'm taking a Russian History class and am trying to take as many Latin American History classes as I can and I have always loved history.
Hello, as my name infers I'm Thomas. My main interest is classical antiquity and I am leaning towards reading History at the University of Cambridge.
