NCPH 2022: “Crossroads”

If the last few years have shown us anything, it’s that we are currently standing at a crossroads. We have all witnessed monumental changes in society that have fundamentally altered how we see one another, how we interact with each other, and how we will go forward together in the future.

Being at a crossroads allows us to reckon with the past while seeking solutions for repair and contributing to a more equitable society. As public historians, our work is critical in defining turning points, meaningful direction, and inspiring movement on paths toward progress.

Montreal is a city rich with diverse cultures, history, and art. Sharing borders with the US, Canada is an ideal locale to anchor discussions related to raising marginalized voices in reimagined narratives. This annual meeting will help create opportunities to reckon with and repair historical relationships, design experiences that enable groups to celebrate differences and similarities, and build tools and sustainable methods.

This year six of the eight groups hope and plan to convene online in the coming months, culminating in an in-person session in Montreal in March. Two groups will convene exclusively virtually through the May virtual conference.
