Subject outline
In this subject, students examine the links between communities and their histories, local environments and global, national and state histories. What different stories of people and place have been told in community histories? Whose memories and stories are often included/excluded in local histories/museums? How have community histories been contested? How could they be transformed? Why is history important to sustainable communities? How are digital technologies changing community history?
