What is Public History? In this course, we will explore the approaches and methodologies of this new and fast-growing historical field. Unlike traditional history, Public History (PH) brings together heritage workers, community organizations, museums, and scholars. By using Digital Humanities (DH) tools such as maps, interactive websites, and podcasts, historians look to reach a wider audience and make an impact on their communities. To learn about the methods and possibilities offered by PH and DH projects, this semester, we will focus on historians' role in the fight against climate change.
