The CCPH Alumni Interview Partnership Project provides a forum for current students and alumni to discuss their interests in public history, their experiences at Carleton University, and build relationships with one another.

Our third episode features graduate researcher Fiona Sinead Cox (2012-present), and program alumnus Angela Beking (2010-2012). (Fiona) Sinead Cox is a current Master’s student in Carleton’s Public History program. She studies portrayals and exclusions of poverty in the pioneer narratives of rural Southwestern Ontario museums.
