I’m Samuel Talbott, a graduate student currently working on an M.A. in History at Western Michigan University. I completed my undergraduate degree in History and Government & Politics at Millsaps College. I have created this website as part of a digital humanities course and look forward to maintaining it as a resource in the future.
History cannot be approached as an isolated field. I apply the tools of political science to my historical studies, using these methods to improve my understanding of government and politics across the human past. This is only one set of methods, however. A comprehensive approach to history must include multiple disciplines from both the humanities and the sciences, necessitating collaborative projects between academics.
