So in the classroom, one of the things

00:03.920 --> 00:07.440
I often hope to see students do,
or they end up doing on their own

00:07.440 --> 00:10.877
anyway, is bringing current events
into conversation with the past.

00:11.361 --> 00:14.364
This is especially important in classes
like World History,

00:14.397 --> 00:18.084
where the students are not necessarily
all going to become historians,

00:18.318 --> 00:22.522
but what we hope is they will become
better informed citizens of the world

00:22.522 --> 00:27.811
who understand things like the global flow
of commodities and peoples

00:27.811 --> 00:31.548
over time, and how that's evolving
and how it's shaping our world.

00:31.548 --> 00:32.465
Even in the present.
