Session Abstract

Philadelphia is home to a revolutionary community of public historians, archivists, and artists who engage diverse communities to rethink the city's story. Drawing on the arts and sciences, they reconsider monuments, reinterpret manuscripts, and question whose voices need to be heard more in our joint production of public history. This panel gathers together scholars in dialogue to explore their greatest challenges, and to workshop new ideas.
