Domesday and depressing news

The Domesday Book is online, a wonderful boon to European history teachers everywhere. And New York teen Kiri Davis has replicated Kenneth Clark’s 1940s doll work in today’s Manhattan, with depressing results. (Jan. 24, 2014 note: You can watch Davis’s short documentary on Vimeo.) I hope it sparks additional discussion about the work of the Clarks and the controversy over the relationship between social science and the legal system. Hat tips to Tom Smith and Bruce Adelsohn, respectively.
