Tiny Museums and the (Hi)stories We Tell Ourselves: Cultural Construction in the Rural American West
Faculty Sponsor: Elizabeth Taylor
In almost every town in rural Oregon, there’s a very small museum of history and culture. Conducting interviews with local curators and residents, analyzing what’s on display and why, and examining histories included and excluded from local archives, Liza will produce audio stories that explore the narratives of citizenship and American identity sustained in these museums and the kind of social impact those narratives might have.
