Public History

In addition to their scientific research activities, the scientists of the Chair and those associated with it are also intensively engaged in communicating the resulting findings to a broad public. This ranges from podcasts and film series to (digital) exhibitions. Fellows of the GLORE project are given the opportunity to develop a public history project during their stay. The results of this broad range of public history initiatives can be found in this section.
