This is an online event. Please do not venture to the EPIC Museum for this talk.
Catered to support the secondary level ‘Become an historian’ strand and history curriculum, students will leave their text books behind and learn from an actual historian-in-residence. At EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, we bring history to life before your eyes using interactive technology. However, we wouldn’t have any stories to tell without the historians who uncovered them.
Unearth what it takes to be one in this workshop, in which you’ll hear inspiring real life case studies, discover vital practical research and project management skills, and be introduced to the real world of history, discussing things such as career progression, primary and secondary evidence, and challenges related to hidden histories and representation.
