Hot Off the Presses!: The AskHistorians 2021 Digital Conference Program

by historiagrephour

The AskHistorians 2021 Digital Conference is just over a day away, and boy do we have some fantastic content lined up for your enjoyment!

Given this year's theme, which focuses on [deleted] and misrepresented histories, we're excited to showcase cutting-edge research on:

  • the history of trans erasure
  • the ways in which history is often inaccurately portrayed in works of popular media
  • the use of history in game design and development
  • Asian perspectives on European colonization and imperialism
  • the ways in which historical women exercised agency
  • the recentering of narratives of historical violence
  • the excavation of historical figures whose lives have been erased from the record
  • narratives of truth and trauma for Indigenous communities
  • and the ways in which history is (deliberately or not) misrepresented in historical fiction.

You can learn more about all of these panels in this year's conference program, which also includes information about this year's keynote presentation and roundtable talk, as well as our welcome message and thanks, and the conference's schedule of events.

Gorgeous programme, is there a condensed version somewhere though where we can do a quicker check of dates/times?

I've read great things about the recentering narratives of historical violence one. Maybe it's because I'm in it and I know my fellow panelists are fantastic and their papers fascinating.

Very well put together program. Striking and beautifully drawn visuals starting from the front cover, explains the importance of the theme that runs right through the conference, really explains what each panel will cover.

It looks great, an important theme, fascinating panels, I feel I'm going to learn a lot from this. Thank you to everyone involved for putting in the hard work to create all this.
