INQUIRY INTO THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE
Historical study is essential to active global citizenship. History is the inquiry into the diversity and complexity of human experience across time and place. As a discipline, history requires a deliberative stance towards the past; the sophisticated use of information, evidence, and argumentation; and the ability to identify and explain continuity and change over time.
