Conceptualized in the 1970s as history done outside the classroom, public history offers opportunities to connect universities, schools, cultural institutions and a variety of public groups. In this talk, recorded on 31 August 2022, Thomas Cauvin presents how public history has been defined, practiced, and taught in different contexts. He argues that its project-based methodology, its connection to present-day issues, and its focus on public communication make public history an extremely useful approach to teach history.
