Beyond Footnotes

Hello all! My name is Emile and this is an interview done by me, your new host of Beyond Footnotes. I interviewed your former hosts, Lily and Maddy in regards to their thesis projects and future plans, now that they have graduated. Have a listen and get to know the women behind the scenes.

In this episode, we interview Dr. Tim Garrison, who is the Department Chair of the History Department at Portland State University. He received his PhD at the University of Kentucky. He studies the history of the Native American south, American Indian legal history, and the history of the removal crisis.

Join us as we talk with Dr. Catherine McNeur, environmental historian here at PSU, whose recent research into the oft-maligned ailanthus tree tells of how humans make sense of the world around us and apply meaning to trees and plants.

In this episode we interview Dr. Katrine Barber, professor at PSU and public historian.

In this episode we interview Bryce Henry, archivist at the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Archive, and Cris Paschild, University Archivist and head of Special Collections here at Portland State.
