Teaching honest history
A conversation about the danger of sanitized heroes and cynical supervillains, and the moral humility required to see people and events as they are.
For campuses and classrooms
Campus speaker in Tampa Bay and across Florida
Dr. Boaz speaks with college students and faculty about the habits of attention that make education matter: telling the truth about history, writing as a way of thinking, and carrying intellectual life beyond the ivory tower.
Talks and workshops
Writing as thinking
A workshop on writing not as decoration after thought, but as the patient practice through which a question becomes an argument.
Beyond the ivory tower
A reflection on bringing serious ideas into public life with generosity, clarity, and work that remains accessible beyond academic institutions.
A grounded point of view
Make room for complexity without losing the thread.
These talks draw on Dr. Boaz's published essays and teaching practice. They take ideas seriously without treating students as an audience that needs to be impressed.
