Patryk Babiracki is a professor of history and MA Program Director at the University of Texas at Arlington. Babiracki published widely on Russian, European and global histories and contemporary affairs. He is currently interested in the potential of "applied history," i.e. the uses of history in business, tech and public policy, and how that potential can be leveraged to articulate the value of the humanities within universities and in the private sector. With this in mind, he started a podcast titled "Practical History," taught a class that under that same title and wrote for "The Chronicle of Higher Education." Babiracki is interested in the interactions between humanities and AI and in researching, organizing and retrieving tacit knowledge for individual and organizational purposes.
