Affiliated faculty
Concordia faculty are involved with such subjects as oral history, policy development, documentary production, digital media, and museum curatorship. Students can secure training relevant for future careers in museums, historic sites, archives, cultural institutions, film and television production, legal institutions, and all levels of government. Training in public history prepares students for work both in and outside the academy, and raises fascinating issues regarding how history is shaped, experienced, and disputed in politics, culture, and everyday life.
