AMST 3221 - Hands-On Public History: Slavery and Reconstruction

Effective Start Date: 08/01/2021
“Public history” is delivered to a non-academic audience, often at historic sites, museums, archives, and on digital platforms. Some films, podcasts, fiction, and poetry might also be considered public history. This course uses all of those formats to investigate how the history of slavery and Reconstruction are presented to the public. Collaboration with local community groups and field trips to historic sites are key components of this class.
