ABOUT THE HOOVER HISTORY LAB & POLICY IN BRIEF
The Hoover History Lab is not a traditional academic department but instead functions as a hub for research, teaching, and convening—in person and online, in the classroom and in print. The Lab studies and uses history to inform public policy, develops next-generation scholars, and reinforces the work of Hoover’s world-class historians to inform scholarship and the teaching of history at Stanford and beyond.
The Policy in Brief analyzes contemporary global policy challenges, offering insights and providing possible solutions through a historical lens.
