Practicing History Podcast Episode 9: Public History with Cheryl Jimenez-Frei
In this episode, I sit down with Cheryl Jimenez-Frei, Assistant Professor in History of Latin American and Latinx Studies at University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. We discuss Dr. Jimenez-Frei’s research on monuments, commemoration, and memory in Argentina and think about it in relation to the controversies over Civil War monuments in the United States. We reflect upon the practice of public history and chat about our joint work doing oral histories as part of the COVID-19 Oral History Project and the Journal of the Plague Year: A COVID-19 Archive.
