Using the Past to Define the Future - Digital Booklet
Introducing the theme of ‘memory politics’ to young audiences at high schools and universities requires explaining why the commemoration of history matters. The digital booklet https://online.anyflip.com/nqbw/gzly/... "Using the Past to Define the Present: An Introduction to Memory Politics in Canada & Europe" offers easily accessible and thought-provoking ways of learning about memory politics in a comparative perspective.
In this video experts and co-authors of the digital booklet feature explore the meaning of memory politics in public debates (the Polish case) and the ways in which this issue can be taught to students. In the discussion that follows, experts at te Centre for Global Studies (UVic) explore the importance of new ways of teaching about the meaning of historical narratives in Europe’s and Canada’s current political realities.
The production of this booklet has been co-financed by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation Canada as part of the projects: "European and North American Perspectives on Commemorating and Addressing Past Injustices" & "Coping with the Past: German-Canadian Perspectives".
