H-Migration Closing conference (online): Historical cultural change, historical learning and memory

Discussion published by Sebastian Bischoff on Thursday, January 14, 2021

Stories in Motion: Memory Practices, Historical Cultures and Historical Learning in Germany’s Migration Society Closing conference Historical cultural change, historical learning and memory March 1-2, 2021 Location: Online Register by February 20, 2021; please contact hilmig18@uni-hildesheim.de

Simultaneous English-German/German-English and sign language interpretation will be provided for the presentations and panel discussion. Unfortunately, this will be possible only for some of the breakout rooms.

Since it was launched in 2018, the project "Histories in Motion" has been researching memory practices, historical cultures, and historical learning in Germany’s migration society. In a joint project with the University of Hildesheim Foundation, the Freie Universität Berlin, the Georg-Eckert-Institute in Braunschweig and Paderborn University, interviews were carried out with a variety of actors for empirical studies, providing new perspectives on current historical-cultural negotiation processes. Our interview partners represent four different fields of studies: teaching and school-based learning, memorial sites and museums, educational media and publishing and non-formal educational programs (NGOs). Based on this interview material, we will discuss the following topics, among others: - How does one define a collectively significant history, in the context of a diverse migration society? - What are the current challenges to historical learning in a diverse society? - How are issues of diversity, belonging, exclusion, and separation integrated into historical education? For further information, see: https://geschichten-in-bewegung.hosting.uni-hildesheim.de/ We will present our answers to these questions and the results of our research during our closing conference on March 1-2, 2021. The presentation will take place within a framework of lectures, panel discussions, and workshops, and will include the opportunity to engage in conversation with invited experts and our practice partners about the topics at hand.
