Researcher for the Network of Concerned Historians at EuroClio
EUROCLIO-DE EUROPESE VERENIGING VOOR GESCHIEDENISONDERWIJSGEVENDEN
DEN HAAG, Hollandia
Leírás
You will join the Network of Concerned Historians (at EuroClio) to campaign for the protection of historical freedom, ethical research, and the documentation of censorship worldwide. This is a unique chance to gain hands-on experience in an interdisciplinary field that combines history, human rights advocacy, journalism, and digital archiving. You will participate in two core activities: - Compiling information about censorship of history (e.g. unlawful education curricula revisions; unlawful restriction of archival access) and persecution of bona fide history producers (including murder, arrest, dismissal, travel bans, etc.); - Constructing an archive of global censorship of history since Ancient times, including a memorial for killed historians, a database of history-related legal cases and professional codes of ethics. For this volunteer activity, you will research censorship of history and the persecution of historians worldwide and document cases for the NCH Annual Report.
