- Introducing History Service – Civil Society & Political History
One might think, in the modern world, that the civil society is a state of pretence, or a hollow existence, or a utopian ideal. This is because civil society is conceived in political theory. Modern politics is too often the antithesis of the civil society with plotting, scheming, and other Machiavellian forms of partisan action.

THE MARKETING DEAL OF THE CENTURY!

THE SCHOLARSHIP
The above announcement is a piece of satire. Like all satire, there is a grain of truth. People sometimes do not get satire, so I will explain. Public history was once supported by public institutions. Under the narrative of neo-liberal economies, public history is now expected to be supported by the market. The problem, as explained by the best and honest economists, is that there are some areas of society that are not meant to be placed on the market, those areas that can never be ‘efficient’ (in reality) through competition policy. Researched education, learning and scholarship, is one of those areas.
Since neo-liberal politicians have won the day, those of us who are professional humanities and social science workers have been forced into a choice, with the exception in the paper-thin token number of colleagues, luck enough to have one of the very few positions still open at universities, or other public institutions. We are forced to choose to abandon our careers in professional research, even as we have proved ourselves in higher degrees and quality publications, OR we place our services to the marketplace, until the day returns when we are sufficiently employed back in the public sphere.
The grain of truth in the above satire piece is that I will provide a history service for a price, negotiable around the Professional Historians Australia fee scale. The other business option is lobbying for the return of public funding levels to public institutions for the sufficient employment of professional researchers.

- Introducing History Service – Religion & Secular History
‘Religion & Secular History’ is a very large field, or, actually, the historical summation from many fields — religious history, studies of religion, philosophy of religion, world religions studies (anthropology and sociology), the psychology of religion, and so forth.
In exploring the almost-impossible question of ‘what is religion’, something of an answer can be formulated in ‘what is secularity’.

- Introducing History Service – Historical Sociology
“Sociology began as a historical discipline, created by Marx, Weber and others, to explain the emergence and consequences of rational, capitalist society.”
The stories of historical sociology are today more complex, examining the origins of social revolutions or mass movements, empires and states, inequality, gender and culture.
