Public Outreach
Studying history means to unearth forgotten realities, to listen to marginalized voices, and to emerge from the archives with new perspectives on the challenges of the present. This process is essential for critical and informed public debates. Historians should therefore mediate cross-cultural academic and public discourses. Here you can find a chronological list of past and upcoming events at which I present my findings to audiences within and beyond the ivory tower.
