Amsab-ISG and Samenleving & Politiek bring historians and other thinkers together to reflect on today's political and social current affairs six-part series of discussions

They reflect on the past and examine the extent to which we truly live in unique times today. A discussion that draws on the speakers' previous positions in public debate, as well as their previous research and publications. Historians' voices should be heard loud and clear, because without knowledge of the past, the present is difficult to understand.
