Sensitive Pasts : Questioning Heritage in Education, Hardback Book

Sensitive Pasts : Questioning Heritage in Education Hardback

Edited by Carla van Boxtel, Maria Grever, Stephan Klein

Part of the Making Sense of History series

Hardback

Description

Heritage, as an area of research and learning, often deals with difficult historical questions, due to the strong emotions and political commitments that are often at stake.

In this, it poses particular challenges for teachers, museum educators and the publics they serve.

Guided by a shared focus on these “sensitive pasts,” the contributors to this volume draw on new theoretical and empirical research to provide valuable insights into heritage pedagogy.

Together they demonstrate the potential of heritage as a historical-educational domain that transcends myopic patriotism, parochialism and simplistic relativism, helping to enhance critical and sophisticated historical thinking.
