Interchange: History in the Professional Schools

Perhaps more than any other academic field, history is practiced all across the campus. Nearly every college and university has a history department, but few of those departments contain all the historians in their institutions. The social sciences, the language departments, and the arts and humanities pay serious attention to history. Even professional schools, which are physically, bureaucratically, and intellectually far removed from colleges of arts and sciences, always pay some attention to history and often have a historian or two on their faculties. The experience of those historians, the scholars and teachers who practice history in professional schools, is the subject of this edition of "Interchange."	1
When historians have their academic homes in professional schools, do they practice history differently? Is history taught differently? Is it imagined and written differently? Is the purpose of historical study different in a professional school than in a college of liberal arts? Is academic life better or worse for historians who make their way outside the history department? Those are the kinds of questions explored in "Interchange," 2005.	2
The participants in the conversation are historians who work in six different professional schools: business, divinity, education, journalism, law, and medicine:	3
