Centrum voor Historische Cultuur
The Center for Historical Culture (CHC) at the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication, Erasmus University Rotterdam, is dedicated to research on historical culture in a globalizing world. Research of CHC associates focuses on: historical consciousness, collective memory, public history, autobiography, historiography and colonial legacy, history of ideas, construction and transmission of historical knowledge, heritage and history education, history didactics.
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. The CHC establishes links with other universities, research institutes, museums, schools and heritage institutions, 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 the public sphere. The program of CHC aims at opening new avenues of research, new ventures in theory, and new approaches to meta-historical reflection.
