Who works in the history field today? What backgrounds and experiences do they represent? How are they compensated? And how do they feel about their work? This session will illuminate answers to these questions based on the findings of AASLH’s groundbreaking National Survey of History Practitioners. Attendees will learn about data and insights that can support making informed decisions, advocate for needed change, and building more sustainable institutions through this clearer, more complete picture of the people who power the history sector.
