During the 2024 Field School, students were assigned a site we were visiting in Europe to research and reflect upon. Students were instructed to create a reflection pre-visit and post-visit to the sites. The Pre-site visit posts discussed the history behind the creation of the memorial/museum as well as a description of what events/victims the site was memorializing. Post-site visits reflected on the experience of seeing these sites in person and students’ opinions on how well the site memorialized the events. Questions about behaviours at memorials, intended audience and accurate representations of victim groups were discussed.
Please go to the Memorial Site Reflections page at the top right corner to see a selection of students’ work.
