Greg Jenner

    Greg Jenner is een Britse public historian, omroeper en auteur die bekend staat om zijn gebruik van humor en popcultuur om de complexiteit van het verleden te communiceren. Zijn werk onderzoekt kritisch hoe historische verhalen worden gevormd en geconsumeerd, met name voor entertainment, en streeft ernaar feitelijke nauwkeurigheid te combineren met toegankelijke storytelling. Via zijn boeken en podcasts wil hij geschiedenis toegankelijk maken voor een breed publiek en conventionele opvattingen over vervlogen tijdperken uitdagen. Jenner's aanpak kenmerkt zich door zijn vaardigheid om academisch onderzoek te verbinden met hedendaagse media, waardoor boeiende en educatieve inhoud ontstaat.
