Review of Epidemic Belfast project highlights inclusive health history practices, connecting communities in Northern Ireland and beyond.
Since 2021, the Epidemic Belfast project has developed innovative ways of researching and communicating health history with regional and international audiences. This article reviews the project’s development while offering insight into how best to develop practice for curating health history content that is inclusive, coproduced, and challenging. It situates the Epidemic Belfast project in a regional context—Northern Ireland—often associated with conflict, a scenario that has often sidelined the health histories of people, communities, and marginalized groups. The approaches in Epidemic Belfast offer a compelling template for public history practitioners elsewhere.
