Hi everyone! My name is Madeleine McKeon and I am a sophomore History major at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. I am also minoring in Art History and Public History. I am really excited to take this course–the growth and development of communities is something I find particularly interesting and it will be even more fascinating to explore when the opposite occurs. I am also excited to have the opportunity to conduct independent research and to gain experience with digital tools. I look forward to working with and getting to know everyone!
