In this podcast series, Paul Zanazanian, author and Associate Professor at McGill University, explores what history is, what it can do, and how people use it in their everyday lives. What is unique about this series is that Zanazanian engages in conversations with scholars and other professionals who do not work in any field directly related to history but — as shall be discovered — hold valuable insights about history’s worth and relevance. The podcast is inspired by Zanazanian’s book, Historical Consciousness and Practical Life: A Theory and Methodology, which examines history’s life uses.

SPECIAL SUMMER EDITION: Paul Zanazanian, Associate Professor, McGill University

Paul Zanazanian is an Associate Professor in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education at McGill University. His research examines historical consciousness’s workings in social actors’ everyday means of knowing and doing when constructing social reality for purposes of living life. Theoretically and methodologically, he explores historical consciousness’s role in the development of individual and we-group identities and their consequent potentials for agency. He pays attention to these manifestations in both formal and informal educational settings. He is co-editor of Teachers and the Epistemology of History (2024), published by Palgrave Macmillan, and author of Historical Consciousness and Practical Life: A Theory and Methodology (2025), published by University of Toronto Press. He also hosts a podcast, History in the Now Conversations, available on his website historyinthenow.com and on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube.
