This module introduces skills, approaches and practices in Applied Public History: understanding and interpreting the past today, and engaging diverse communities in the practice of making and sharing histories. Based around an online course, the module draws on project case studies, expert insights and diverse perspectives to model exciting approaches to public engagement and co-production in the history of places and people. It features the unique, diverse projects and expertise based in the CHPPC, including the Victoria County History of England (founded 1899), and the Layers of London crowdsourced digital history project, as well as contributions from the Centre’s collaborators and partners across academia, the heritage sector and creative industries throughout the UK. Students will extend the online content with bespoke tutorial / seminar support, enabling them to develop their own applied public history project design for assessment.
