Been There, Done That: on our *precedented* time
?si=4rdfSEhH8dsTCLS9Been There, Done That: on our *precedented* time
Amanda's Mild Takes
Professor Greg Jackson is a historian and host of the essential podcast @historythatdoesntsuck -- He’s got a new book coming out called Been There, Done That: How Our History Shows What We Can Overcome, which you can pre-order anywhere. It comes out June 16th! Obviously, discussions about all the ways our current moment IS, IN FACT, PRECEDENTED is something near and dear to me, so I was so happy to talk to him about his book, how to understand precedent without becoming a pollyanna, and more. Enjoy the convo!
