Abstract
History is more than a mere chronicle of events; it is a dynamic tapestry woven from a multitude of experiences, cultures, and narratives that shape our collective past. My philosophy of history is rooted in the belief that understanding history is essential for comprehending the present and envisioning the future. As a passionate historian with a focus on Iowa's rich and diverse history, I am driven by a commitment to uncovering the stories that have shaped this region and its people. My approach to history is both analytical and empathetic, aiming to bring to light the voices and perspectives that have often been overlooked. Through my research, I strive to contribute to the profession by offering a nuanced and inclusive understanding of Iowa's past, fostering a deeper appreciation for the complexities and interconnectedness of our shared heritage.
