Records of the Past: The Making of Music Culture in Georgia
Student-curated exhibition tracing Georgia music history through material culture at the UGA Special Collections Libraries.
Curating
My curatorial practice centers collaboration and object-centered approaches and is deeply integrated into my teaching and research. Through exhibitions, installations, and digital projects, most developed with students as part of museum training coursework, I have curated materials ranging from archaeological artifacts to photographs to archival documents in order to spark conversations about history, culture, and ethics.
