The Saint and the Count: A Case Study for Reading like a Historian

Faculty Feature

While historians know that history is about interpreting primary sources, students tend to think of history as a set of facts. In The Saint and the Count, History Professor Leah Shopkow opens up the interpretive world of the historian using the biography of St. Vitalis of Savigny (d. 1122) as a case study.

Undergraduate Feature

Robin is an Indiana University-Bloomington sophomore from Jeffersonville, Indiana, majoring in English, history, and sociology. Robin is pictured here at the Oscar Wilde monument in Dublin, Ireland. 

"The value of a history major comes in its incredible power to provide context for the world we live in today. In the world of fake news, being able to work efficiently with primary sources is a skill that cannot be undervalued."
