Non-Boring History
Your non-posh historian friend, renegade academic Dr. Annette Laing, invites you to join her witty and surprising tour of US and UK history, and of what history really is.
“What's not to love about Non-Boring History? The name of Annette Laing's newsletter says it all. Lots of different ways to read about and explore US and UK history. So much fun!”
History Buzz editorial team, History Buzz
“No one approaches history like Annette. Definitely not boring!”
Anne Byrn, Anne Byrn: Between the Layers
“With humor, insight, rigor, and a zest for narrative, Annette Laing explores the little—and big—tales of history. This self-described “renegade ex-professor of history (tenured, and quit, not fired, thank you),” delights with every post.”
