EIHS Workshop: Memorializing History: Monuments, Myths, and Symbols
What roles do monuments, myths, and symbols play in generating historical memory? How might monuments or symbols be reviewed, recast, reimagined, or transformed? In a series of flash talks covering expansive historical and contemporary terrain, our graduate student panelists explore material memorialization and countermonumental practice, the historical and political legacies of endowed institutions, Ptolemaic coins and political legitimacy, and the myths and realities of eulogized pasts. Please join a moderated roundtable discussion following panelist presentations moderated by Ian Moyer (University of Michigan).
