"HistorESCH", Making History More Collaborative C²DH Innovating & Sharing History podcast

History shapes towns and cities and the people who live in them. Esch-sur-Alzette has an extremely rich, sometimes forgotten history, one that is reflected in its buildings and heritage and above all in the lived experiences of its residents. Thomas Cauvin, head of the “Public History and Outreach” research area, and Joëlla van Donkersgoed, a post-doctoral researcher at the C²DH, spoke to Hanna Siemaszko, the producer of the SciLux podcast on science in Luxembourg, about the challenges of the “HistorEsch” public history project.
This podcast was recorded in connection with the 2022 Annual Report of the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH), a University of Luxembourg research centre.
