17 yrs ago, I spoke to a campus radio station about Halloweens past - my 1st scholarly media spot. Host was completely unprepared, so the conversation was... err... "wideranging". She also forgot to turn off the mic after, so the on-air banter continued. Yes, it's still on my CV. #publichistory

🗃️ Hoping for some help with a page proof question. We public historians are ok with using "historymaking" as something of a portmanteau, yes? The typesetter insisted on separating this into "history making," but I feel I've read it combine in other books on memory and #publichistory. Thoughts?

'Paintings were suddenly seen as money': The reason art heists exploded in the 1970s
Acclaimed new film The Mastermind, starring Josh O'Connor, tells the story of an art heist gone wrong. It's inspired by a wave of similar thefts at a time when society was in upheaval.

I care very much about the history of place.
Both places and histories are constructed and reconstructed constantly.
Most heritage properties don't contribute much to #PublicHistory.
Instead, they foster comfortable and unchallenging nostalgia that is useful for exclusive conservatism.
