In this talk, Dr. M.J. Rymsza-Pawlowska will draw from her book on the 1976 Bicentennial, “History Comes Alive: Public History and Popular Culture in the 1970s,” as well as in-progress research about how Americans are engaging history in order to explore and explain the way that national commemorations help to clarify, crystalize and accelerate emergent trends in historical engagement. How will the upcoming Semiquincentennial reflect what history looks like now?

Her work has been profiled in the Washington Post, New York Times, Bloomberg and Time magazine, and in 2022, she was a featured commentator on Netflix’s “D.B.
