The C²DH is thrilled to announce a new and dynamic partnership between its Public History research group and the Institute for Advanced Study in the Global South at Northwestern University in Qatar (#IAS_NUQ).
Led by prof. Thomas Cauvin, the FNR-funded project PHACS objective for 2025 and 2026 aims to engage with public history practices on the international level, emphasizing the production of history with a public perspective beyond Europe. This collaboration will therefore focus on academic approaches to public history and digital perspectives and methodologies from the Global South.
The partnership will feature joint seminars that engage scholars, practitioners, and students from both the University of Luxembourg, namely the Master in Digital and Public History (MADiPH) and the #IAS_NUQ Global Undergraduate Fellowship program. It will also support visiting faculty and fellowships between both universities, allowing scholars to contribute their expertise and engage with the unique research environments at both institutions.
Looking ahead, the partnership envisions potential future joint projects to explore new ways of engaging the public with history through multimodal forms of public history that bridge continents and perspectives.
This collaboration represents a significant step forward in enriching global conversations around history, digital scholarship, and the diverse ways in which history is practiced and engaged with around the world, particularly in the Global South. We look forward to the exciting synergies that will emerge from this partnership and the continued development of public history as a vibrant and global field of study.
Stay tuned for more details on upcoming events and opportunities from this exciting collaboration. Should you wish to know more about the partnership, please contact Dr. Myriam Dalal (University of Luxembourg) or Marina Krikorian (Northwestern University in Qatar).
