HIST 415 - Advanced Public History

(3.00)

This is a seminar style course for students considering graduate study or a career in public history. Public historians produce original interpretations that build bridges between scholarship and everyday life by respecting the ways in which their partners and audiences use history, and by balancing professional authority against community needs. Students will read and discuss texts that explore the history, best practices, and core values of public history. Students will also gain experience in the collaborative methodologies that distinguish public history from other forms of historical professionalism.
