Jennifer Brier
Associate Professor
Research Interests
- I am currently leading a team of faculty and students (LAS and CADA) in a project to develop a mobile, community-based public history gallery. History Moves, as we call the project, works with neighborhood and community-based groups to develop their own historical sensibility through oral history and analysis of material culture. We then will work together to curate and produce a small history exhibition based on the findings (at first the exhibition will be online, but we hope to actually develop a plan to purchase and retrofit a bus or truck as a mobile and modular gallery).
- Our first community collaboration, in Spring 2012, was with the Immigrant Youth Justice League, we then worked with the Chicago Freedom School. Undergraduate researchers will need to be available to meet with the organization and the team on a regular basis.
