Public Historians of Color #s29 #NCPH2016

Challenging the Exclusive Past must begin with the past of public history itself. As we work to create pluralistic narratives of historical events, it is imperative that we recognize the exclusive underpinnings of our field and actively endeavor to open its doors to diverse practitioners. This roundtable sought to create a safe space where graduate students and new professionals can discuss and explore various components of the public history “pipeline”: the ways in which public historians are trained and hired.

Chair: Blanca Garcia-Barron (@behristotle)

Panelists: LaQuanda Walters-Cooper (@lwalterscooper), Amber N. Mitchell (@anichellemitch), Camille Bethune-Brown (@CuratingCamille), and Ashley Bouknight (@NicNat_artifakz)
