Public History Weekly will hold an International Public History PhD Workshop with the title “Public History in Digital Transformation” on July 2-4 2020. The venue of the workshop will be the Hotel Rigi-Kulm in Switzerland.

Objective

The Workshop will offer an international group of 12 to 14 students, who are working on or have just finished an outstanding research project in the domain of Public History, a opportunity to meet for a workshop in Switzerland and to present, discuss, evaluate and improve their projects.

The general public will be able to take part through Live Streamcasts of all presentations and discussions and can ask and comment through dedicated social media offers.

The students will not only offer insight into their projects by a short 20 minute presentation, but will also prepare a thorough comment of 10 minutes on an assigned project of another member of the group. After presentation and comment there will be another 20 minutes of discussion, which will include all attendees of the workshop but also the interested public that can take part in the discussion through social media.

If projects and presentation of those projects meet the publication standards, the participants will be invited to publish an article regarding their project in the Public History Weekly journal.

The participants will also be entitled to have 1 to 1 talks with members of the evaluation board to give an additional academic feedback on their project.
