In Season 2, we will look much more closely at a subject in the public humanities that is not often discussed: Indigenous Public History. My guests this season include indigenous public history practitioners, academics, and cultural leaders, as well as non-indigenous public history practitioners. They will talk about their experience in Indigenous Public History, their successes and challenges in the field, and more broadly about the responsibilities and ethics of doing “activist” and decolonized public history.
Your host this season is Dr. John C. Winters. John is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Southern Mississippi, and ITPS Research Associate in New York History. He is an multifaceted public historian with nearly ten years of experience in historic homes and public history institutions. You can find more about him at johncwinters.com.

Public Health-Public History A Three-Part Miniseries
The year 2020 demonstrated that public health, broadly defined, cannot be separated from public history. Our host, Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky, interviews a series of experts on public health, disease, education, slavery, and race over the course of three episodes. They discuss how education and cultural institutions can interpret the history of disease, medicine, and racism as interrelated issues that continue to challenge the nation today. Listen to all three episodes and read the show notes.
