New Textbook for Public History

Thomas Cauvin Discussion

Dear all,

I want to share with you the recent publication of my new book. Public History: A Textbook of Practice serves as an introduction to the field. Among the different aspects, I deal with the uses of the past and the role of historians. Federal historians, public policy, and official history are part of the last two chapters. You can see here the contents and reviews, as well as some of the introduction. Any feedback is welcome as I plan to start a regular blog post on how to teach aspects of public history. You can contact me at cauvin@louisiana.edu or visit my personal website.
