Current History explores the intersection of history, foreign affairs, and emerging technology with serious, accessible analysis of the policy questions that shape our world.

This channel is the culmination of decades of self-study in history and foreign affairs, a career as an engineer, and a return to the questions that always mattered most. That work is now backed by graduate-level studies in international relations at Harvard and years of engagement with policy organizations across the country.

The central question driving this: how can watching the currents of history help us understand policy at home and abroad? It's a question that will never be fully answered. But chasing those answers just might help us build a more peaceful world. And what else can we ask for?
