OSU Origins

"Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective" connects history with today. Every month since 2007, we’ve provided historical insight on current events that matter to the United States and to the world. The history departments of Ohio State University and Miami University in Oxford produce a main article that appears on the 15th of each month and features an expert who analyzes a pressing issue—whether political, cultural, or social—in a broader, deeper context. Origins’ main articles focus on the long-term trends and patterns, search for the foundations of today’s events, and explore the often complicated nature of a particular current event. Origins is a joint collaboration between The Ohio State University and Miami University. Find out more at http://origins.osu.edu.
