Solid advice for historians of all career levels 😊
Great advice. Mine is this: all good abstracts do the following
1. Background (who what when where)
2. Problem — what's the hole your research addresses?
3. Argument/Hypothesis
4. Evidence — on what basis are you making the argument?
5. Answer the "so what" question — why does this matter? to whom?

Geweld tussen Thailand en Cambodja laait steeds op door historische wraakgevoelens
Thailand en Cambodja ruziën over tempels, maar volgens historici zit er meer achter het conflict dan een paar territoriale claims.

LDP kiest 'Japanse Thatcher' als leider, en ze wordt waarschijnlijk ook premier
De nieuwe leider wordt gezien als zeer conservatief. Ze is bijvoorbeeld tegen het homohuwelijk, anti-migratie en voor investeren in defensie.
