Last week Dr. Dominika Grzesik participated in the conference ‘Public History in European Historical Perspectives’ – the meeting was held between 14 and 15 September 2023 at the University of Luxembourg within the project ‘Public History as the New Citizen Science of the Past (PHACS)’
The conference, organized by Thomas Cauvin and Joanna Wojdon, focused on the long history of public historical practices in Europe. For two days, presenters explored the variety of historical practices that engaged with the public. From Herodotus and Thucydides in Classical Greece to the Mass Observation Archives in mid-20th century England, with focuses on historical societies, street naming or commemorations in the 19th century, the range of case studies demonstrates the breadth of the field and the long-standing history of what later developed as public history.
On Thursday, 14 September, Dominika gave a talk ‘A long history of public history: Public historical practices in ancient Greece through the epigraphic perspective’.
