  • Heritage Education and Social Participation
    No. 51 (2025)

    Monograph coordinated by Olaia Fontal Merillas (University of Valladolid, Spain), Álex Ibáñez Etxeberria (University of the Basque Country, Spain), Ursula Luna Velasco (University of the Basque Country, Spain) and Pablo De Castro Martín (University of Valladolid, Spain).

    With this monographic issue, we aim to open a space for critical reflection on the intersections between heritage education and social participation, highlighting innovative proposals that strengthen the relationship between communities and their cultural and natural legacy.

    Heritage education is a key tool for promoting the understanding, appreciation, and conservation of heritage; this educational approach seeks to connect people with their history, identity, and environment, fostering a sense of belonging and commitment to protecting the common legacy. Social participation, in this context, is fundamental, as involving communities in the management and preservation of heritage allows it to be understood not only as a set of objects or places, but as a collective construction capable of reflecting values, traditions, and cultural diversity. The monographic issue in which we invite you to participate is conceived as an inquiry and a taxonomy of the most novel avenues of exploration and the most up-to-date results that bring together this conjunction of education, heritage, and social participation.

  • Controversial pasts, conflicting memories: opportunities and challenges in history teaching
    No. 50 (2024)

    Monograph coordinated by Rosendo Martínez Rodríguez (University of Valladolid - Spain), Carlos E. Muñoz Labraña (University of Concepción - Chile) and Nilson Javier Ibagón Martín (University of Valle - Colombia).

    Both history, in its interpretative nature, and memory, in its social and identity function, often arouse controversy in today's societies, which look to the past to explain the present and face their collective future. A wide variety of issues from the past provoke a divided gaze, a memory in conflict, whether for ideological reasons or because of value discrepancies. However, both memory and history play a fundamental role in shaping the historical culture of peoples, and therefore both ways of looking at the past should find their place in history education. Even so, the controversial nature of these topics and the ethical implications that accompany them are not always seen as an opportunity in history teaching, and there are many challenges that they raise in the classroom. For this reason, this monograph aims to highlight the role of memory and controversial pasts in the teaching of history, with a view to citizenship education and the development of students' historical thinking.
