What are we here to do?

We'll learn about a variety of fields and contexts in which public historians work, while talking about methods, debates, and theories in the field of public history. We will learn strategies for presenting historical narrative and interpretation in public settings. We will experience real world public history settings through participating in networking with community partners, interacting with guest speakers, and hands-on activities.
