The National Council on Public History (NCPH) conference for this year is almost here. Next week I’ll be heading to Baltimore, MD for NCPH 2016. It looks like it’s going to be a great conference with a wide range of panels, walking tours, workshops, and other events. The full conference program is available on the NCPH website. I planning on taking in a variety of events including:
Wednesday March 16
- 8:00am-12:00pm “Daring to Speak Its Name” Workshop
