What is Crowdsourcing and How Does it Apply to History?
Public History
This course explores “public history,” or history as it is applied beyond the classroom. It examines urban history as a rich source for interaction between historians and the broader public; the use of archival resources; interpretation and presentation of history through museum exhibits, documentary films, public art, heritage tourism sites, community history projects, and various other public history venues; how history-oriented venues identify their public and how they utilize historical evidence to reach that audience. The course also considers the role of race, class, and public memory in advancing certain interpretations and suppressing others. Occasional guest speakers from various Northeast Ohio public history venues will bring their perspectives into the classroom.
