The open lecture series “Practices in Public History” consists of a total of five conferences that will take place between March and May 2024, in collaboration with the Laboratory of History seminar of the Master in History at the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Minho. The sessions will be led by guests with diverse backgrounds in the field of historical knowledge transfer, who have been developing practices in Public History and/or Citizen Science.

The cycle is organized and supported by the History Department, in collaboration with Lab2PT/IN2Past, under the responsibility of Joana Sequeira and Francisco Azevedo Mendes.
