Technical Leaflet 264: Three Building Blocks for Developing Ethical Representations of Difficult Histories

  • Registration Closed

Three Building Blocks for Developing Ethical Representations of Difficult Histories is an AASLH Technical Leaflet. AASLH Technical Leaflets are brief, practical guides on how to do history. Technical Leaflet #264 by Julia Rose, Ph.D., tackles the three building blocks that enable museum workers to develop ethical representations needed to direct and sustain visitors’ empathetic responses to difficult histories. Difficult histories include the recollections of trauma, oppression, and violence. The challenge for museum workers to develop ethical representations of difficult histories is finding an equitable equation for combining the three conceptual components: Faces, Real content, and Narratives. When combined, these three components are the building blocks for developing ethical representations of difficult histories.
