I'm an academic renegade

The first day of my PhD program at University of Chicago, my advisor said, "You know there are no jobs, right?" I knew, but I didn't care. I wanted to write about history for a broader audience than the other five people interested in my dissertation topic. I wanted to write for history buffs and nerdy kids and the general intelligent reader. (That would be you, right?)

Officially my degree is in the history of the Indian sub-continent, with strong sub-fields in European imperialism and Islam. I feel strongly that the West in general and Americans in particular need to know more about the history of other parts of the world.

Quotes by Pamela D. Toler (?)

“Influenced by the European depression of 1873, Kautsky鈥檚 writings depict a capitalist system spiraling toward its death. He emphasized the inevitability of the eventual triumph of socialism and rejected the fundamental premises of social democracy. He argued that the role of a socialist party was not to create a transition to socialism, but to educate workers about the nature of capitalism and prepare them for the class struggle that would bring about its demise.”
― Pamela D. Toler, The Everything Guide to Understanding Socialism: The political, social, and economic concepts behind this complex theory
