Listen. Never have I felt older than this moment, in which I am lecturing via podcast about the historical epoch that is the 1990s (or, as the kids refer to it, “The late 1900s.”) So, what were the 1990s about? It was confusing. We didn’t have a clear “enemy” in the world anymore. The internet boom glossed over rising inequality. The world became “globalized” and the country became obsessed with talking about “multiculturalism” and whether that was a good or bad thing. The 1990s are a hodge-podg...

It's 1968. White middle-class Americans are tired. They’re tired of everyone complaining - it’s “systemic racism” this and “unjust war” that. Can’t we all just be happy? Isn’t it time we all just calmed down and got back to work? It’s time for some tough love and Nixon is the man to drag us out of the 1960s kicking and screaming… Today’s episode is all about the 1970s or “If an entire decade were the middle child.” This is Anti-Social Studies; I’m Emily Glankler: settle in and let’s go back in t...

Before we move on in time from LBJ to Nixon, I want to pause so that we can talk about the PLETHORA of social movements that were ongoing throughout these two presidencies. Today we’re talking about Civil Rights and Protest Movements of the 1960s and 70s or, “Free At Last?

If JFK was the optimism of what the 1960s could be, then LBJ was the realism of what it actually was. Does that sentence make sense? I’m sure it will by the end of this episode. Remember last episode when I said that the 1960s w...
It's a bonus episode on the history of Columbus Day (for pictures and wild gesticulations by Yours Truly, you can check out the video version on my YouTube!)
Has it been 6 months since my last episode? Sure. Does it cause me anxiety that I left my listeners on a cliffhanger of a communist threat for half a year? You betcha. But during my hiatus I was really productive dragging my way through the end of a terrible school year and building a …

I know you’ve all been anxiously awaiting the conclusion of this narrative that literally no one else has ever told in history. How does World War II end?

The post Emily Learns About… Emma Goldman (part 2) with Rudy Ramirez! appeared first on Anti-Social Studies.
Emma Goldman was an immigrant teenage anarchist who just wanted to dance (and overthrow the government.) But the real question is… how did she end up running an ice cream shop?
OK. Buckle your seatbelts. We’ve made it to the only event in American history that really matters… WORLD! WAR! TWO! I’m just kidding. But it’s amazing how many people come up to me at parties and tell me they’re a history buff only to find out that they’ve just read thirty books on D-Day. Now, …
(The original episode had audio issues so make sure you listen to this one instead!)
Last episode people danced while the economy crumbled. Today, we need to figure out what happened next. How do you bring an entire country out of total financial collapse and unemployment? No, really. I’m asking for us right now. Well, if you’re a Democrat you would say, “The government needs to spend a ton of …
