  • Summary

  • To build a sustainable future, we have to tackle many problems in the present: the climate crisis, threats to democracies around the world, backslash against migration, and more… In this podcast, we look into history to help addressing these issues, so that we avoid mistakes and learn from insights from the past. This is The Time Traveller's Almanac, a podcast from the history department celebrating 110 years of Erasmus University Rotterdam. Season 2 comes out on 7 June 2023.
