Radical & Popular pasts in 2007: call for papers / contributions
Ruskin College Saturday March 17th 2007
In recent years Ruskin College has been at the forefront of debate in Britain on the nature and uses of public history. Our past six conferences have explored many aspects including the relationship between official and unofficial histories, or the nature of the visual in history or people’s relationship with their pasts; the topic of the 2005 international conference, a collection arising from which is being published by Palgrave.
This year we wish to return explicitly to some of the past concerns of Ruskin college & earlier public historians by exploring the nature of radical and popular pasts but in a contemporary context. Guest speakers include Ken Loach.
Contributions which explore different ways of creating, or representing, radical pasts within a public history context are welcomed. The format is flexible and can include presentations, commentaries on film/art work, written papers, and displays.
Please send a proposal of 200 words maximum together with name, and institution /organisation if any, by December 15th to the organisers: Professor Sally Morgan, Massey University, New Zealand, (s.j.morgan@massey.ac.nz), John Siblon, City & Islington College, (johnsiblon@hotmail.com), Dr Hilda Kean, Ruskin College (hkean@ruskin.ac.uk)
