Tina De Gendt (°1982) is a public historian, writer, speaker, researcher and curator.
Born in 1982 in Ghent (Belgium), she has focused most of her work as a public historian on putting her hometowns contemporary history under the microscope, using a critical and global perspective. Migration, urbanity, heritage, superdiversity and social struggles are recurring themes. Public space, oral history and fundamental participation are core methods. During her last project, The Square Kilometer (for the Ghent City Museum STAM), she developed a new methodological framework for participatory heritage work in superdiversity: negotiating narratives. She is a much sought after expert and speaker on heritage, participation and diversity.
