Museum Work

​

Since graduate school, I've studied the ways that museums contribute to public and professional knowledge about mass atrocities. In 2012, I held a visiting research fellowship at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. From 2021 to 2024, I served as board secretary for Dayton's International Peace Museum. 

​​​​

Through my work with the IPM, I became interested in the historical role of peace museums in international campaigns against war and genocide. My public lecture on the world's first Peace Museum, founded in 1902 in Lucerne, Switzerland, is available to watch on YouTube.

​​​

I regularly work with students, designers, and humanitarian groups on museum-based projects. These include, most recently, special exhibitions on mis- and disinformation and on America's "Secret War" in Laos. I'm always happy to be contacted regarding potential collaborations.
