I teach fascism and Nazism, so the “relevance” question isn’t such a hard sell for me. But I often talk to students generally who say that *they* love history but their parents would never let them be history majors because they can’t get a job with it. So talking about relevance goes beyond students to our culture at large, I think.

To be honest, it’s tough to think of a profound response on the fly like this. I’m here to hear what this workshop is all about and see what I can learn.
