Students will examine key debates in public history, exploring topics such as historical interpretation, collective memory, memorialization, and identity formation in public spaces. They'll also investigate how historical narratives are constructed and presented through various mediums like textbooks, museums, and digital platforms. Through hands-on projects such as designing museum exhibitions, developing public history websites or blogs, and completing internships at cultural institutions, students will employ their analytical skills to real-world historical practice. This practical experience will enable them to connect historical insights with modern concerns, showcasing to broader audiences how historical perspectives enhance our comprehension of current issues and highlighting history as an evolving discipline of ongoing reinterpretation.
