Center for Historical Culture
Centrum voor Historische Cultuur
The Center for Historical Culture (CHC) at the Faculty of History and Arts, Erasmus University Rotterdam, is dedicated to research on historical culture in a globalizing world. Main research interests are: historical consciousness and collective memories; theory of historiography and representations; intellectual history and history of ideas; construction and transmission of historical knowledge; history education and public history. CHC stimulates contacts with researchers on heritage, museums and commemorations, history didactics and pedagogy, history of gender, 'race' and ethnicity, world history and transnational history.
Founded in Rotterdam, May 12 2006, the CHC provides an intellectual forum for Dutch and international scholars, and attracts highly promising graduate students to Erasmus University. It establishes links with schools, heritage institutions, museums, libraries and archives, both nationwide and in the Rotterdam region, in order to further the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of knowledge. In this way, the Center will act as a meeting place for academics, professionals and citizens who share an interest in historical culture and the role of history in education and public debate. The program of CHC aims at opening new avenues of research, new ventures in theory, and new approaches to meta-historical reflection.
