James Harvey Robinson (June 29, 1863 – February 16, 1936)[1] was an American scholar of history who, with Charles Austin Beard, founded New History,[a] a disciplinary approach that attempts to use history to understand contemporary problems, which greatly broadened the scope of historical scholarship in relation to the social sciences.[2][3]
