information management from Emporia State University, Kansas; a master's in historical administration and museum studies from the University of Kansas; and a bachelor's in anthropology from the University of Michigan. Before coming to Kent State in 2010, she
taught at the University of Kansas, Lawrence; Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio; and Michigan State University, East Lansing, as well as online courses for the Northern States Conservation Center. She has more than 20 years' experience working
in museums in various capacities – as curator, collection manager, director, volunteer, program coordinator, archivist, historic interpreter, board member, exhibit designer and consultant. Her research interests center on the relationship between physical
objects and humans, especially the role of affect and lived experience; document theory; and convergence issues surrounding libraries, archives and museums. <b> </b></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
