Public Engagement Project: History Communications in the 21st Century

PEP logo

Join us for an evening of "lightning conversations" on the future of History Communication. What is "History Communication"? What does it mean to be a History Communicator in the twenty-first century? What are the core issues at the heart of communicating history in this new information age? 

Prominent historians, journalists, and thought leaders engage in ten-minute conversations on how we communicate history in a digital world. Co-hosts Jason Steinhauer (The John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress) and Susan Kaplan (New England Public Radio, “All Things Considered") will moderate.
