  • People, Historians, and Public History: Demystifying the Process of History Making
    The Public Historian, 2010
    Co-Authors: Hilda Kean
    Abstract:

    This article discusses the experience of teaching Public History at Ruskin College, Oxford since 1996 to consider debates on the role of the “historian” and “the Public.” Drawing on ideas of Rosenzweig and Thelen as well as Samuel, this explores approaches to Public History adopted within the M.A. program at the College. It develops themes raised in the collection People and their Pasts: Public History Today to consider the concept of furthering historical understanding based on common experiences and breaking down rigid distinctions between “the historian” and “the Public.” The article describes practical approaches adopted in the teaching of Public History and draws on other examples, such as the television program, Who Do You Think You Are? 1

  • introduction people and their pasts and Public History today
    2009
    Co-Authors: Hilda Kean, Paul Ashton
    Abstract:

    The first international Public History conference was held in Britain at Ruskin College, Oxford, in September 2005, with the title ‘People and their Pasts ’.2 In earlier years Ruskin Public History conferences had covered a range of topics including official and unofficial histories, personal and Public histories, placing History and seeing History. All emphasised the processes by which histories are created. At the same time, some recent university conferences in Britain had been held with the titles of ‘Historians and their Publics’ or ‘History and the Public’ in which the stress had been on communicating History as a given body of knowledge by academically trained historians to ‘the Public’.3 Such frameworks concentrate on the form and nature of transmission, rather than explore the idea of how the past becomes History. However, the ‘People and the Pasts’ conference had a different emphasis. It sought to explore the range of historiographical processes that could lead to the possible creation of shared meaning and different understandings of the past between people with a keen interest in the role of the past in the present. This lively sharing of ideas and projects at the conference was the starting point for putting this collection of essays together.

  • Renewing the new order?: Public History in indonesia
    Public History Review, 2012
    Co-Authors: Paul Ashton, Kresno Brahmantyo, Jaya Keaney
    Abstract:

    After the fall of the Suharto regime in 1988, Public debates over the nature of History proliferated. While focusing on a number of key national events, most notably the 1965 coup and the killing of over half-a-million people, these debates have raised critical issues over the role or potential role of Public History in contemporary Indonesian society. Questions of historical authority are paramount as Indonesian historians, Public intellectuals and politicians struggle with a deeply entrenched historical paradigm and narratives of the old ‘New Order’ which continues to inform History in schools, cultural institutions, the media, literature, personal narratives, Public rituals and the academy. This paradigm was based on an unquestioning acceptance of official accounts of the past. The demise of the New Order has left a historiographical vacuum which individuals and groups from a broad range of perspectives are trying to fill. Some, like Professor Azumardi Aza, are seeking to straddle the divide between professional and Public History. Memory has emerged as a key issue in Public debates, attempts have been made at reconciliation between the left and the right, though these faltered, and turf wars have broken out between historians and novelists such as Pramoedya Anata Toer. Women continue to remain relegated to a 'macabre footnote' in Indonesian Public History. History in Indonesia is at a crossroads. One road could lead to a more democratic form of Public or people’s History; the other to a modified version of the New Order History.

  • The Origin of Modern Public History in China
    History Workshop Journal, 2019
    Co-Authors: Na Li
    Abstract:

    Abstract This article tracks the origin of modern Public History in China. Through a critical survey of the landscape, the article focuses on why Public History has such a widespread appeal among ordinary Chinese, and how it is used for social cohesion and identity building to mobilize a general population. The author argues that Public History has flourished in the last two decades alongside a deteriorating notion of national identity unified by the state; the genesis of this can be traced back to the turn of the twentieth century. Three propositions are suggested for further developing Public History in China, namely writing differently, a broader and more liberal understanding of History, and an emphasis on rigour.

  • Teaching Public History: A Cross-Cultural Experiment: The First Public History Faculty Training Program in China
    The Public Historian, 2016
    Co-Authors: Na Li, Martha A. Sandweiss
    Abstract:

    From July 18 to July 30, 2014, sixteen participants from faculties around China gathered in Shanghai for the First Public History Faculty Training Program funded by the Center for Public History at Shanghai Normal University. The key objective was to introduce participants to Public History, conceptually, practically, and pedagogically. For the second part of the program, a group from Princeton University joined the Chinese scholars for a cross-cultural exploration of how Public History is interpreted differently in two cultures.

  • Public History in China: Is it Possible?
    Public History Review, 2014
    Co-Authors: Na Li
    Abstract:

    This article, based on my experience of teaching a graduate seminar in Public History at Chongqing University, explores the possibilities of Public History in China. It discusses how a reflective and collaborative curriculum works, and its implication for establishing Public History programs in the Chinese context. The article also argues that, despite a myriad of challenges, Public History pushes the methodological boundary of urban preservation in China.
