HIST 388 - Exploring Public History


This course examines the multiple ways that history is represented to the public—and the way the public shapes representations of the past. We will explore the many dimensions of public history, including museums, national parks, monuments and commemorations, documentary films, and historic preservation through readings and field trips. We will also host public historians who will discuss professional issues and challenges they face in representing history to the general public.
