Research Associate, Inclusive History Project
About
Kathleen Brown is the Research Associate for the Inclusive History Project and a current Ph.D. candidate in American Culture at the University of Michigan. Her contributions to IHP include studying naming and renaming politics and processes at higher education institutions and examining participatory, community-engaged, and crowd-sourced history projects that bring in broader numbers of people into historical questioning and research.
Kathleen is a former high school English teacher and holds advanced degrees in Secondary Education from the University of Pennsylvania and in English Studies from Freie Universität Berlin. Her academic interests include the histories of transnational movements for social justice and labor organizing throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Currently, she is researching African-American anti-fascist solidarity for a democratic Spain during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). She speaks English, Spanish, and German (the latter badly).
