By bridging people and communities with a sense of their own history, th ere is a path of relevance forged for a contemporary exchange of ideas, val ues and cultural forms that exceeds the boundaries of known academic confin es. While several projects exist to create meaningful sites of public memor y in India, representatives of India’s indigenous people and marginalised e pistemologies and knowledge have yet to be added into school and university pedagogy.\nWith the digital turn, what is deemed culturally significant ha s had a greater chance to be defined by community representatives themselve s. The Public Ownership of History in India project punctures conventional historical practice by relying on multilingual and multi-ethnic sources and centering on community traditions, orality and experiential knowledge for active engagement by all. In its conception, design and dissemination, the project seeks to bring to the forefront community researchers from marginal ised communities to engage with formal education to bring their voices to e ducational spaces. This re-assessment of knowledge resources will alter the narrow way in which academia admits only certain sets of evidence to narro wly construct valid knowledge systems. Present-day scholarships cannot rely solely on archival materials or primary sources that are only admitted ins titutionally. Encouraging the display,  study and engagement of the un-docu mented, the workshop seeks to move the needle beyond the institutionally es tablished historical record. By complicating the idea of what constitutes h istorical evidence, it will also enable different audiences to develop a ne w understanding of collective public history.FLAME University invites you t o a two-day workshop to explore alternatives to mainstream curricula in tel ling new stories.In 2020, we received a grant from the British Academy and in light of this project, we are hosting community researchers from across western and southern India for this two day event.

Public History serves as a significant bridge co nnecting academia to society. By bridging people and communities with a sen se of their own history, there is a path of relevance forged for a contempo rary exchange of ideas, values and cultural forms that exceeds the boundari es of known academic confines. While several projects exist to create meani ngful sites of public memory in India, representatives of India’s indigenou s people and marginalised epistemologies and knowledge have yet to be added into school and university pedagogy.
With the digital turn, what is d eemed culturally significant has had a greater chance to be defined by comm unity representatives themselves. 
The Publ ic Ownership of History in India project punctures conventional historical practice by relying on multilingual and multi-ethnic sources and centering on community traditions, orality and experiential knowledge for active enga gement by all.
