Indeed, they started exploring how to work with the [educational] past in the present, experimenting with presenting the educational past in new ways, and reflecting on how these new forms of mediation and musealisation of sources impacts the research and the (hi)stories told. By zooming in on three themes, musealisation, new ways of exhibiting, and historical storytelling --, this edited volume illustrates the vitality of the history of education, as field of study, and demonstrates its adaptability to the "changing contexts" of its public function. So, rather than being an "endangered species", the historians of education seem to get fit for the future by showing traditional craftsmanship as well as "engagement with" and "appropriation of" (interdisciplinary) approaches of thinking with the past in the present for wider audiences -- stances which are richly illustrated in the various contributions.EducationEuropeHistoryEducationEuropeHistory18th centuryEducationHistory.EducationHistory370.94Herman FrederikBraster Sjaakdel Pozo Andrés María del MarNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910645949203321Exhibiting the Past2994168UNINA
