In this episode, I spoke with my colleague Dr. Sharon Leon. Leon is an Associate Professor of History at Michigan State University, where she teaches about digital and public history and is developing a digital project related to enslaved communities in Maryland. Prior to joining the History Department at MSU, Leon spent over thirteen years at George Mason University working in the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media as Director of Public Projects. In that position, she oversaw dozens of award-winning collaborations with libraries, museums, and archives around the country. In our conversation, we talked about her path toward digital work and how it intersects with broader questions about the field.
