Non-refereed publications
Archive-Counter/Archive educational guides series
About the guides: One of the central goals of Archive/Counter-Archive is to increase public engagement through an “activation” of archival materials. Alongside Chloë Brushwood Rose, I have developed a series of Educational Guides designed to accompany film and video from A/CA’s Case Studies and facilitate their integration into K-12 and postsecondary classrooms.
