Social History is a field of study that examines the lived experiences of people in the past, focusing on everyday life, social structures, and cultural practices. It seeks to understand how social dynamics, such as class, race, and gender, have shaped societies over time. By analyzing various sources, including oral histories, letters, and photographs, social historians aim to uncover the voices and experiences of ordinary individuals, often overlooked in traditional historical narratives. This approach enriches our understanding of history by highlighting the complexities of human interactions and societal changes.
