Making Public Histories Seminar: Why is history important?
In celebration of 20 years of the Professional Historians Assoc
(Vic) this year, PHA (Vic) is hosting a Making Public Histories seminar on ‘Why
is history important? And what do professional historians have to give?’ The session will be
a series of short presentations from PHA (Vic) members discussing their work
and how it reflects the continuing importance of history in our community.
This
will be followed by a panel discussion addressing a number of questions facing
the profession: How does technology impact on the historian’s role? What sort of
histories will we be writing? Will we still be writing? What is the future of
history? So get in early and book your place for what will no doubt be a
thought provoking way of celebrating 20 years of professional historians.
