Join us on Thursday 6 Nov for this wide-ranging discussion on the ethics of engaged research with communitues www.qub.ac.uk/research-cen...

Another day of fascinating and thought provoking papers at @publichistoryqub.bsky.social conference on ‘public history in an age of anxieties’, incl eco-anxieties, museums + Lough Neagh, @amycking.bsky.social on
anti-fascist pedagogies, and great discussions of community histories + co-production

Brilliant close to a brilliant conference as UCSC’s Jasmine Alinder reflects on how traumatic and erased historical narratives can be brought to the fore in new and accessible ways in an age of anxiety

Short term and casual contracts increase anxiety, reduce productivity and undermine institutional memory. Great discussion about precarity in public history with @mauricejcasey.com and Emma McAlister. Day one of ‘Public History in an Age of Anxiety’ conference

A really strong, thought provoking start to the @publichistoryqub.bsky.social annual conference on ‘Public History in an age of Anxiety’ with @cathfletcher.bsky.social on museums and gun heritage, and Lisa Goff on the challenges of public history in Trump’s America

Public History in an Age of Anxiety conference off to a great start as Prof Catherine Fletcher speaks on the public history of guns in an anxious age
