The Doing History in Public @historyinpublic.bsky.social website by grad students and ECR at Cambridge might be useful to showcase early career historians' work in this area! doinghistoryinpublic.org

Interesting, thank you!

Jerome de Groot, Consuming History (2008; 2nd ed. 2016) Marnie Hughes-Warrington (ed.) The History on Film Reader (2009) - both great and very thought-provoking!

Yes, both great! And both on the reading list :-) Thanks so much!

@willpooley.bsky.social do you have any suggestions? I seem to remember something on your blog?

It’s not new but I always go back to Donald Schonn ‘The Reflective Practitioner’ (1982) to sell students on the value of reflection. It’s about nursing but transcends disciplines

An interesting idea - thank you!

Depending on what your students are working on, Gregory Ramshaw’s introductory textbook on sport heritage is great. He & a couple of other sxholars have some more detailed journal articles, but I think he has pulled a lot on the topic together in this book.

Thank you!

Probably doesn't work for UG or PG teaching, especially as I don't think any chapters can be pulled out...but a truly fascinating novella about the problems of doing public history. Something to mention maybe restlessbooks.org/bookstore/th...

Perhaps more useful for students, although perhaps more on how not to do it, rather than a guide on how to books.google.ee/books/about/...

Belated thanks, Martin! Much appreciated :-)

Not at all

I’ll email you some suggestions

"If women counted' by Marilyn Waring.

Thank you!

This is one I think about a lot: www.uproot.space/features/the...

That’s super interesting - thank you!

Carol Kammen, On doing local history.

Thank you!

I'm only saying this rather tentatively - but, I love teaching pub hist through Hilary Mantel's newspaper pieces? The later ones are well know, but this is an early gem; www.theguardian.com/books/2012/m...

That’s a cool idea - thank you! 😊

I haven't used this before but have heard Rebecca Wingo talk about the projects and would recommend on that basis: ucincinnatipress.manifoldapp.org/projects/dig...

The Luxembourg C2DH public history group has a range of good stuff including videos: www.uni.lu/c2dh-en/rese...

You might like the articles @badancient.bsky.social set for a class on conspiracy theories and archaeology which I don't have right now because I'm away but Owen will know.

Thanks so much Catherine. This is all super helpful! Would be really interested to hear about the conspiracy theories example...

So there are a few short articles: Stephanie Halmhofer, 'Did Aliens Build the Pyramids? And Other Racist Theories'; Sarah E Bond, 'Pseudoarchaeology and the Racism Behind Ancient Aliens'; Flint Dibble, 'With Netflix’s Ancient Apocalypse, Graham Hancock has declared war on archaeologists' 1/2

And then a couple of more academic ones (from 2005, but still relevant): Cornelius Holtorf, 'Beyond Crusades: How (Not) to Engage with Alternative Archaeologies,' World Archaeology, 37.4 (2005): pp. 544-551 and... 2/3

Garrett G. Fagan and Kenneth L. Feder, 'Crusading against Straw Men: An Alternative View of Alternative Archaeologies: Response to Holtorf (2005),' World Archaeology, 38,4 (2006): pp. 718-729. 3/3
