Project Summary

History in the Public Sphere (HIPS) is a 120 ECTS EMJMD program offered by the Department of History,
Central European University, the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, the School of Social Sciences and
Humanities, New University Lisbon, the Department of History, Archeology, Geography, Arts and Performing Arts,
University of Florence (Consortium Partners) and Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales, Paris
(Associated Partner). Students spend the first semester in Budapest, second semester in Tokyo, and third and
fourth semesters in Florence or Lisbon. Succesful graduates are awarded a Multiple Degree from CEU, TUFS,
and UniFI or NOVAIts pedagogical program is unique in bringing together rigorous, source-based scholarship and
civic engagement with history in order to prepare future historians and educators for careers in the influential
profession of translating and disseminating historical knowledge through archives, museums, journalism,
broadcasting, and digital communication.HIPS combines in-depth methodological and theoretical training in
comparative history with hands-on experience with practices of bringing historical knowledge to the public sphere,
for instance, by historically informed journalism, documentary film-making, or curating exhibitions. The program
lays special emphasis on developing skills and social competences through study trips, practitioner workshops,
and internships, which enable graduates to work with non-experts and civic actors in the process of disseminating
historical knowledge. Students also receive research training and develop individually either a Thesis or a
Capstone Project.HIPS is built around four main themes which address issues that have moved to the forefront of
historical academic training in the recent past, having important cultural and political inferences.1) History and the
institutionalization of memory examines the role played by museums and archives in shaping historical
knowledge, including the ways in which institutions of memory are used for the purposes of historical revisionism,
and explores the impact these institutions have on the present. 2) Visual representations and medialization of
history offers an inter-disciplinary take on the ways historical narratives have been visualized in the past and
provides skills to interpret and develop cutting-edge contemporary media representations from documentary
cinema to video games. 3) Histories of inclusion and exclusion looks at the socio-cultural, legal and political
aspects of gender-based, religious, ethnic, economic, social and other forms of discrimination and violence, and
explores ways of negotiating diversity and organizing socio-culturally heterogeneous societies.4) Entanglement
between national, regional, and global frameworks of history offers rigorous methodological training for students
to organize their knowledge and research project in a transnational, comparative perspective.
