Use of plural or singular verb
"History, an inherent boundary-crosser, also draws insights from the applied disciplines, e.g., health and nutrition, and others in constructing contextual insights on the human condition of maternal health."
I think that history "draws insights" in this sentence as opposed to Grammarly suggestion to change it to history "draw insights". Which do you feel is correct in this context?
See example:
History, an inherent boundary-crosser, also draws insights from the applied disciplines, e.g., health and nutrition, and others in constructing contextual insights on the human condition of maternal health.

"Draws insights" is correct. The verb "draws" reaches back over the appositive "an inherent boundary-crosser" and conjugates based on its subject, "history." Therefore it is singular.
