The Public & Popular History seminar series provides a forum to explore the practice and characteristics of public and popular history in the modern world: What happens when history narratives are produced not for library bookshelves but for a mass audience? Does popularization of history automatically mean dumbing down? Who are the people who make history for the public sphere, and what are their motivations and priorities? The Public & Popular History seminar brings them together, film makers, commisioning editors, journalists, museum curators, living history enthusiasts, and professional historians. Through talks, multi-media presentations, panel discussions, and debates the seminar hopes to foster the dialogue between historical practitioners within and outside the academy.
