The rise of Public History: an international perspective

This article explores the birth and development of public history and presents the different criteria of its internationalization from the 1970s to the more recent creation of the International Federation of Public History. Based mostly on North America and Europe, the international perspective sets the development of public history in the United States into a broader context of debates about the changing role of historians. While public history was mostly perceived in the 1980s as the application – through consulting – of history to present- day issues, the more recent internationalization is made of a variety of local and national approaches to the field

Research in the Classroom and Simulation Laboratory: Combining C2 Research and Education

Proceedings for the 1998 Command and Control Research and Technology Symposium Command and Control for the Next Millenium June 29-July1, 1998 Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, California Track 2 Assessment and EvaluationThe ongoing series of ONR sponsored Adaptive Architectures for Command and Control experiments at NPS involves researchers from academia, DOD and private industry and enhances the quality of education provided to NPS student participants. Several NPS courses have been designed, at least in part, to take advantage of the opportunity to involve students in leading edge research, to use the experiments to reinforce knowledge taught in the classroom and to provide the students with a rich thesis environment. The students provide value added on a no cost basis to the A2C2 project by participation in the experiment as players, as Lead Team participants and as thesis students. DOD and the NPS faculty also benefit by association with the A2C2 experiments. This university model that combines research with education for the students, especially with the relevant nature of the A2C2 project, provides a positive result for everyone including the students, the faculty, the researchers and DOD
