An Artful Reframing: The University of La Verne’s Heritage, Identity, and Current Context

I–along with several colleagues at the University of La Verne–am happy to announce the publication of An Artful Reframing: The University of La Verne’s Heritage, Identity, and Current Context. The University received a grant to investigate the history and heritage of the University, with goal of telling some of the largely untold stories of overlooked or marginalized members of the University community. You can find an electronic copy here.

I wrote the introduction and a summary of the results of focus group discussions. The volume includes chapters on the history of the Brethren Church, the University stone tools collection, Gladdys Muir, the relationship between the University and indigenous peoples, the history of veterans at the University, and the Palomares colonia.
