Sheila A. Brennan – Digital Public Historian
The virtual National Council on Public History conference began last week, and I am already missing my colleagues and friends and the opportunities to meet new people.
NCPH has always made space for students and early-career professionals and scholars to present and discuss their own projects, to network, and to learn about the latest research from the field as well as from professional development opportunities.
A conference staple was a Speed Networking session, offering job seekers and new graduates a chance to meet professionals working across the historical enterprise. Dozens of experienced public historians (“non-rotatorsâ€) sat at tables waiting for students and professionals (“rotatorsâ€) to move through the room for quick 15-minute conversations related to working and job hunting.
