She coordinates the ESL Program, and teaches qualitative research and writing, and educational foundations. Originally trained as a folklorist and ethnographer, Beth has worked with public history, humanities, and arts organizations to produce museum exhibits, local history projects, and arts and culture programs. Her research interests include collaborative research and writing, community-university partnerships, and oral history. She is especially interested in how collaborative research can work—through shared agency, shared commitment, and shared humanity—to make and remake those who engage it. She is the co-author of Doing Collaborative Ethnography Today.
