Welcome back to the ITPS Podcast! In Season 2, we will look much more closely at a subject in the public humanities that is not often discussed: Indigenous Public History. My guests this season, one per month, include indigenous public history practitioners, academics, and cultural leaders, as well as non-indigenous public history practitioners. They will talk about their experience in Indigenous...

This month on Public History in a Virtual Age , we are looking at public history in the classroom. Though sometimes overlooked in the broader field, schools are centers of public history engagement. This episode explores how professors incorporate the outside world into the classroom and the classroom into the outside world. First, we spoke with Dr. Whitney Stewart, an Assistant Professor of Histo...

For this month’s episode of Public History in a Virtual Age , we are diving into museum exhibits. When touring, or digitally browsing, a finished exhibit, you might not consider the years of development that go into its creation. From the initial concept, there are countless steps, and numerous individuals, involved in the process of translating history into an exhibit format; script writing, fund...

This month on Public History in a Virtual Age , we are exploring living embodiment storytelling, a medium that brings history to life through the portrayal of individuals from the past. A unique and theatrical method of sharing history, storytelling provides audiences with an immersive experience in which they can speak directly to historical figures, humanizing a past that can sometimes seem dist...

Welcome to Public History in a Virtual Age! This year, we are exploring public history together. On each episode we meet a couple of awesome practitioners—or people involved in the making of public history. We hear about their super cool projects, their audience, the information they want to share, and why they love their medium. This month we are exploring what I call “in-house” historians. Histo...

This month we are exploring oral history. Oral histories are a collection of stories, memories, and first-hand accounts to create an inclusive archive about a place, event, or community. They are available to anyone, but also have their own set of skills, best practices, and ethical guidelines.  First, we spoke with Dr. Anna F. Kaplan, an oral historian, project designer, historian, and educator i...

Episode four of Public History in a Virtual Age explores historic sites and their role in public history. Historic sites are one of the oldest and most popular forms of public history—in fact, one of your first history memories is probably visiting a house or site near you. Rightly so! There is almost nothing more powerful than experiencing the physical environment and lived experience of people t...

This month we are exploring an under-appreciated part of public history and culture—civic education and citizenship. History has the power to help up us understand who we are and how we got to our current moment, but that knowledge means nothing if we don’t engage as citizens. So this month we will be focusing on voting and elections—the core of any democracy and the heart of citizenship. Today&ap...
