My name’s Mario Sosa and I am currently a senior here at St. Mary’s University. As a history major, I am looking towards the public history track. I would like to learn how to be able to make history more captivating to the general public through the media and other methods. The main goal is knowing how to educate the public in a way that makes the material not only interesting but also impactful. I would have to thank my U.S. history teacher from high school, since that was the class that really got me into the realm of history. I have no doubt that this class will help familiarize me with what public history is all about and what I can do in it.
Cool – I’d love to hear more about your thoughts on public history and media as the class goes along! Welcome!
