| dc.description.abstract | While an intern at Plimoth Plantation, Nicole Perkins spent the summer experiencing the ups and downs of working in a first-person interpretation museum. While she assisted in giving occasional tours and working with visitors as a third-person interpreter, her main role as an Education and Public Programs Intern was in the development and execution of five different summer camp programs. Focusing on how culture and history meet in the 17th century, Nicole used both of her majors to teach children the full story of settlement in the New World. | en_US |
| dc.description.panabstract | How do you share history with the public? This summer, each of us sought an answer to this question. Whether at a museum, archive, or historic site, we explored the many opportunities available in the field of public history. Each of our internships allowed us to combine our academic interests and our professional goals. We learned to think in different ways and developed valuable skills, including research, public speaking, interpretation, and event planning. Ultimately, we indulged our interest in the past while gaining valuable experience that will inform our future. | en_US |
