Trevor Burrows<p>3) The other larger project we'll do in Intro to Public History involves <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HistoricalMarkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoricalMarkers</span></a>.</p><p>Students will learn a bit about historical markers, where they come from, some of the discussion about their uses and abuses, etc. Then, they'll study historical markers in our specific region and consider them in terms of historical representation and narrative.</p><p>With that background, they'll be invited to either revise a group of current markers or to create a new set of historical markers around a particular event or theme in local history.</p><p>If all goes well, they'll do some sort of digital tour to bring their markers to life. </p><p>This is inspired, in part, by Delia Fernandez-Jones' Latinx Historical Markers project, which you can learn more about here:</p><p><a href="https://deliafernandezjones.com/latinx-historical-markers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">deliafernandezjones.com/latinx</span><span class="invisible">-historical-markers</span></a></p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Histodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Histodons</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/PublicHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicHistory</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Teaching</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AcademicMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicMastodon</span></a></p>

Rizal was executed on 30 December 1896 after being charged for sedition and rebellion against the Spanish colonial government.</p><p>As a simple token, here is a photo I took in 2017 of a historical marker installed by the Philippines’ national historical agency in Berlin at the site where Rizal stayed while writing his first novel, Noli Me Tangere.</p><p><a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/HistoricalMarkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoricalMarkers</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/tootSEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tootSEA</span></a></p>
