Historiana is an on-line educational multimedia tool, supported by Euro-Clio that offers students multi-perspective, cross-border and comparative historical sources to supplement their national history textbooks.

Historiana might be considered as a digital alternative to a European textbook, however the website does not attempt to present a comprehensive ‘story of Europe’ and its relationship with the rest of the world. It offers a framework for comparing and contrasting the impact on and responses by Europe’s nations to a range of different events and developments which have shaped the world from the distant past to modern times.

Historiana promotes the acquisition of cross-border historical knowledge and the development of critical thinking, digital and other transversal competences important for preparing a young generation for active participation as citizens of the 21 st Century. 

My role with Historiana is as a content editor as part of an international team of scholars and educators. I provide feedback on my specialty areas of German, imperial, international, and public health history and am actively creating curriculum and content concerning the contestation and representation of memory in postcolonial settings and a large, multi-unit segment on the history of pandemics and their impact on social and cultural disparities in societies around the globe.
