Public History and Memory-Making in Post-Conflict Ghana: A Theoretical Framework

The theoretical framework underscores the importance of public historians in facilitating memory-making processes that contribute to societal healing and reconciliation. Public historians should be supported with resources for continued engagement with local communities to ensure comprehensive and inclusive narratives are developed.
