I&#8217;m a fourth-year student at Grinnell College studying History in Grinnell, Iowa. I&#8217;m passionate about archival science, LGBTQIA+ history, rural studies, public history, digital humanities, the history of education, and how sometimes, they all happen to overlap beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve had incredible opportunities to weave my historical background into pretty much everything I do, bringing historical perspectives into library science, community organizing, peer mentoring, and events management. I&#8217;ve worked as a student coordinator at the Stonewall Cultural Center at Grinnell College, specializing in local LGBTQ+ history and library management, while developing experience with copy cataloging, community-guided acquisitions, and events management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve conducted research on LGBTQ+ history, focusing on local queer history while developing skills and experience in oral history, public history, and community-driven archives. Over the past year, I&#8217;ve developed an exhibition on local LGBTQ+ history and worked as a Vivero Digital Humanities Fellow, learning valuable skills and frameworks for conducting public-facing scholarship, immersive storytelling, and project management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:35%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-0f0b95e2 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1710392826673.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/4;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1710392826673.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1710392826673-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1710392826673-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1710392826673-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:1.2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/?page_id=22\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"22\">CV<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/?page_id=23\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"23\">Projects<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/?page_id=26\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"26\">Blog Posts<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-46","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/46","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/46\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77,"href":"https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/46\/revisions\/77"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/morgansmith.sites.grinnell.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
