But this is hardly a moment, in Britain or the USA, where the historians were looked for and not found. It *is* a moment where some folks are pointedly *not* looking for the historians, because they do not like the answers we give, but that's not quite the same thing, is it?

Oh, they got savaged for this when it was first published. (also, idk about the US, but there are professional historians all over TV here on a whole range of topics)

Savaged how? Where do you think they got their information and opinions if not real life, anyway? I don't really read more British newspapers than the Economist, so I don't have much of an alternate source.

It’s projection. Actually describes most academic economists.

Historians in popular imagination: live in fireside armchair from which they write irreproachable papers about the silver standard Historians IRL: history memes, tweeting about current events in broader context, revising work, critiquing reductionist/harmful narratives

I love footnotes, they are fun and good and important, so it's weird that citing sources= being out of touch? But seriously there isn't a point in time where we actually shut up about history to anyone who'll listen. And plenty of people who won't.

General knowledge of history in UK seems to be bad bc Tories cling to whitewashed Great Britain narrative told in schools & Gammons get their history from WWII movies that glorify Brits while excluding the rest. That is bad, but not fault of historians.
