| Suggestions
for public humanities projects: Working with groups which
desire to preserve and interpret cultural artifacts (e.g., schools,
books, instruments, implements, customs, cultures). Helping to give
direction to individuals and groups who wish to study and implement
programs of cultural and cross-cultural topics. Helping groups understand
ethnic, racial and linguistic groups and heritages. I have specialized
in the school as a cultural entity. I can invite people to the restored
Town Hall School on the campus of Eastern Michigan University. I can
travel widely about Michigan to make presentations, to assist others
with formulating projects and to evaluate ongoing projects. I have
been an educator for many years and still feel young and ready to
learn with those with whom I work. |
