How history creates allies and enemies | Mirela Ivanova | TEDxOxford

People have always had a past. Mirela suggests that we should think of history differently- through peoples' lived stories, relationships, food, and lives. History is not something that happens to us; rather, it is something we do. Thinking through history in this way empowers us to build connections and overcome our differences. Dr Mirela Ivanova is a Lecturer in History at the University of Sheffield, and her work focuses on the pre-modern history of the Balkans, Russia and Turkey and how it shapes the region today. She has written on this topic for the likes of History Today, the Los Angeles Review of Books and the Moscow Times. As a BBC/AHCR New Generation Thinker, she can also be heard on BBC Radio 3 Free Thinking. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
