Uncovering History

This is an exciting time to be involved in public history.

Mia Owens is the inaugural fellow for a new, two-year Public History Graduate Fellowship in the History of Slavery and Its Legacies in Washington, D.C. The fellowship examines the history and lasting implications of slavery in D.C., and is a partnership between The White House Historical Association and AU’s Antiracist Research & Policy Center. Mia focuses on historical research, interpretation, and public engagement. She is also researching the history and influence of slavery at AU, applying skills learned and building upon work done by AU’s Working Group on the Influence of Slavery.
