Take-away Thoughts: Reflecting on Four Case Studies

Main Article Content

Rebecca Conard

Abstract

This commentary on four case studies of transnational public history projects or experiences teases out the pedagogical implications. Financial and logistical aspects present challenges to designing collaborative initiatives that reach across national boundaries, and must be addressed. However, in order to tap the full educational value, transnational public history endeavors should also contribute to the intellectual core of public history curricula.
