Hi! My name is Lauren, and I am a public historian based in Southern California, with a passion for making education and history more accessible to communities.

I hold a masters in American History from Arizona State University. I have significant experience in the museum field, particularly within archives, interpretation, and education. I love writing about contested histories, the Reconstruction era, Black labor history, public history, and memory studies.

If you have questions about my research or want to connect, you may reach me on X, @tiredmuseumgal, or through my website, https://lauren-harlow10.academicwebsite.com/

Cheers.

Lauren
