Here’s how the Crash Course site describes this video:

At the end of our journey through modern European history, we’re taking an episode to look back at how the practice of history developed and what the aim and goals and purpose of history have been. We’ll also take time to consider how we should approach history research and writing going forward.

Of course, since it’s part of their European History course, it is pretty Eurocentric.  Nonetheless, it’s still pretty interesting.
