How is history created? What kinds of materials do historians work with? How do stories emerge from these objects? Provocative Cabbage is a podcast where historians are invited to bring the listener on a journey of discovery through the objects they come across in their research oriented around a specific topic. The topic for this episode is home. We talk about what women’s advice columns, herbarium specimens, broken furniture, and dead rats might have in common. By thinking expansively about the meaning of home, we show how home can be linked to colonization, women’s histories, plants, climate change, and protest.
