Who Makes History – and whose voices are heard?
On November 14, 2026, Forum Wissen in Göttingen invites you to an engaging conversation with historian, author, and podcaster Leonie Schöler. The focus will be on the question of how history is created, which perspectives become visible, and where traditional history books leave gaps.
Viewing the Past Anew
Leonie Schöler focuses on women, orally transmitted knowledge, and societies whose history rarely appears in archives. Together with curator Tatjana Dübbel, she discusses forgotten voices, new approaches to historical research, and the responsibility to narrate the past in a differentiated way.
History between Archive and Memory
How can the past be researched when written sources are lacking? The conversation combines historical expertise with lively audience engagement. The event demonstrates how selection, transmission, and social power relations shape our image of history.

The conversation takes place as part of the Podcast Festival Wissen to listen, which brings together Forum Wissen, Hotel FREIgeist Göttingen Innenstadt, and NDR. This compact discussion event offers space for new perspectives, professional exchange, and a concentrated event atmosphere surrounding science and society.
