Projects

Selected memorial and museum projects reflecting advisory, leadership, and collaborative roles.

They have served variously as jury members, advisers, architects, designers, project managers, curators, executive leaders, board members, and scholars teaching about and chronicling the creation of these projects, the challenges accompanying their realization, and the predictable stages encountered in the complex and sensitive process of memorializing and documenting traumatic history.
