Introduction to Public History: Interpreting the Past, Engaging
Audiences is a brief foundational textbook for public history. It
is organized around the questions and ethical dilemmas that drive
public history in a variety of settings, from local community-based
projects to international case studies. This book is designed for
use in undergraduate and graduate classrooms with future public
historians, teachers, and consumers of history in mind. The authors
are practicing public historians who teach history and public
history to a mix of undergraduate and graduate students at
universities across the United States and in international
contexts. This book is based on original research and the authors'
first-hand experiences, offering a fresh perspective on the dynamic
field of public history based on a decade of consultation with
public history educators about what they needed in an introductory
textbook. Each chapter introduces a concept or common practice to
students, highlighting key terms for student review and for
instructor assessment of student learning. The body of each chapter
introduces theories, and basic conceptual building blocks
intermixed with case studies to illustrate these points. Footnotes
credit sources but also serve as breadcrumbs for instructors who
might like to assign more in-depth reading for more advanced
students or for the purposes of lecture development. Each chapter
ends with suggestions for activities that the authors have tried
with their own students and suggested readings, books, and websites
that can deepen student exposure to the topic.
