About Big History
The concept of Big History
has
grown appreciably since it was first discussed well over 20 years ago.
In anticipating the acceptance and growth of Big History
as a discipline, Professor
Gretta Handke
of Minnesota State University Mankato registered the
domain names bighistory.org and bighistory.com to protect them for
use by the academic community to explore and educate on the subject of Big
History.
Among the most recognized proponents of the
concept of Big History is Professor
David Christian of San
Diego State University and Macquarie
University in Australia. As well as teaching, Prof. Christian is
working with the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation to develop a high school level curriculum on Big
History called the Big
History Project.

bighistory.org and

Gretta Handke at Minnesota State University Mankato.
