Analysis of Public History Narratives
The Europast Summer Schools are designed to offer theoretical and methodological training, whilst placing a strong emphasis on supporting the development of early-career researchers in their chosen fields, promoting research integrity, conduct, and communication.
The 2024 Summer School aims to gather scholars interested in the contribution of digital tools and methods to the creation, production, and analysis of public historical narratives.
Across the four days of training we will host and discuss topics including practices of co-production, curation, analysis and archiving.

• Conversations keynote presentations followed by a discussion
• Workshops History and Video Games; Podcasting; Tropy application for data
  management; Crowdsourcing
