Introductions

Hi!
I'm a first year history MA student at Temple University. I'm not sure if I'm going to concentrate on colonial history with a second area in public history or if I'll reverse it. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Pittsburgh in history. I became interested in public history while interning at the Senator John Heinz History Center (which is really amazing for its location). Ideally my career goals are doing museum work either in community programming or school education (tours, events, workshops, etc.). I am open to other ways of performing the same ideas but in difference venues. One reason I took "Managing History" is to gain a better understanding of what the field is and how the field is changing and developing. Since I really don't have a solid idea what public historians actually do (in theory yes, in practice not so much) I'm really looking forward to discusses it.

I guess that's it for now... Until next time
