I’m an archivist and cultural anthropologist working in the taskscape of cultural heritage, where I explore how communities preserve memory through objects, stories, and place. My work focuses on community-driven preservation practices that honor vernacular knowledge, traditional memory keeping, and the narratives that shape cultural identity.
Volunteerism in Small Museums
The role of volunteerism and its impact on the shaping of the historical narrative and the stewardship of cultural heritage collections. How volunteerism, often deeply gendered, racialized, and classed, contributes to both the preservation, reinforcement, and reimagining of collective memory and national identity, as well as how museums can serve both as sites of erasure and platforms for reclaiming voice.
3C Fellow Cohort 2
The Cultural Competence in Computing (3C) Fellows Program is a two-year, cohort-based, virtual professional development program to learn more social science topics (e.g., identity, intersectionality, racism, bias, and discrimination)and develop sustainable projects (courses, modules, and other activities) leverage these topics, making direct connections between the biases in technologies and the biases in academic/professional environments, the historical contexts of both, and the long-term impacts on both technology creators and consumers. Our Cohort outcomes included developing an undergraduate course for engineering students introducing them to these concepts and their impact in computer science.
European Intersectional Humanities Summer School
An innovative and transformative experience at the intersection of critical theory, social justice and humanities scholarship. Convened by Professor Anna Hickey-Moody, the Summer School brings together scholars, activists and students for an immersive exploration of how intersectionality shapes and is shaped by the human experience across various fields of inquiry.
