Traditionally, it has been found in museums, walking tours, and performances, and has told the stories of people with social and political privilege. Increasingly, however, public history has come to focus on a greater range of voices, and takes place in a wider range of forms: on websites, graphic novels, interactive sensory experiences, social media, and other digital spaces.

Students with interests in history and public engagement are encouraged to enroll in this course.\n\nStudents and Associate Professor of Digital and Computational Studies Anelise Shrout meet in Bonney 160 at 8 a.m. on April 8 to review their projects before working on creating a topographical map of Lewiston\u2019s Lisbon Street from 1850-1940.
