The online seminar \u2018Public History in Global Perspectives\u2019 is organised by the first-year students of the Master in Digital and Public History<\/a> (MADiPH) at the University of Luxembourg on Tuesday, 16 June 2026<\/strong>. This student-led conference addresses students (Bachelor, Master, and (post) doctoral candidates) globally and offers them a platform to share their work in the field of Public History, as well as a space for discussion and exchange with peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rise of digital media has opened new channels for communication about national and global histories. As these media evolve, so does the field of Public History. As the title suggests, this seminar invites students to consider the global aspects of Public History, referring not only to the geographical reach of information through digital media, but also to the ways in which local histories and narratives are shaped by, and in turn shape, broader inter and transnational narratives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We encourage participants to look beyond a local, regional, or national lens and consider how their topic connects to broader and often global themes. This online seminar invites participants to exchange ideas on existing (historical) topics in order to highlight the connection to Public History, as well as explore the differences in interpreting the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invite participants to present their own understanding of Public History practices that can include but are not limited to:.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
