This subject embeds students in a multidisciplinary collaborative team of curators, collection managers, heritage practitioners, creative artists, historians and informatics experts to apply and extend their academic skills in researching and communicating the past. It reflects upon the interactions between history making and public knowledge, and between history professionals, related specialists and the wider community.
Students will be practically involved in collaborative projects in applied history with galleries, libraries, archives and museums, local government or other institutional and community partners, gaining a broad understanding of practical challenges and creative possibilities across museum practice, cultural heritage conservation, cultural environments as historical documents, oral history and archival methods, local, family and institutional history, and digital technologies.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- evaluate, integrate and deploy a range of research designs and digital tools common to public history research and practice through a specific project;
- express enhanced knowledge of relevant topics being undertaken in the workshop at the time;
- employ collaborative disciplinary approaches in the practice of history in the field.
Generic skills
- demonstrate an understanding of the key concepts and components of applied history theory and practice;
- comprehend and apply project management skills in working to the demands of a team or a client;
- examine their own research processes in relation to interpreting history for different audiences.
