Media and Public Work
My public work includes speaking, teaching, writing, and collaborative projects that invite people into thoughtful engagement with history, memory, and community responsibility. These appearances grow out of long-term, practice-based work rather than commentary from a distance.
Across classrooms, public forums, and media spaces, my role is to offer historical context, careful facilitation, and language that helps people think more clearly about the past and its connection to present-day decisions. The examples below reflect the range of public, educational, and collaborative spaces where my work has been invited and trusted.
