Locally Grounded Practices, Global Conversations

Catalina Muñoz
Abstract
This text reflects on the author’s experience as part of the International Federation for Public History (IFPH) since 2015. In particular, it discusses what IFPH has meant for practitioners trying to leverage public history in service of social change in contexts of historical inequality and violence, and how it could potentially enhance its service even more. The text emphasizes how different local trajectories have resulted in different approaches to public history practice and makes an invitation to continue pushing for the de-centering and de-colonization of the field of public history by putting into question the academic limitations inherited from the epistemologies and trajectories of the Global North.
