Interested in building archival research into new or existing curriculum? In this presentation, featuring Dr. Meg Jackson Fox (Associate Curator of Academic and Public Programs) and Emily Una Weirich (Associate Archivist for Digital Initiatives) we will discuss how photographic collections at the Center for Creative Photography can help build excitement in the research process for undergraduates from any discipline. Whether single experiences at CCP or multiple engagements throughout a semester, whether large or small classes, CCP’s staff of archivists and educators can collaborate with you to enhance students’ skills in critical thinking, the research process, use of digital tools, and visual analysis— all while enjoying the act of discovery and empowering inquiry through primary research opportunities here on our campus. We look forward to working with you soon!
Associate Curator of Academic and Public Programs at the Center for Creative Photography, Dr. Meg Jackson Fox specializes in modern & contemporary art and history, time-based art practices, and interdisciplinary visual education. She holds an M.A. in Modern European History from the University of Tennessee; an M.A. in Art, Business and Museum Studies from Georgetown University, jointly convened with Sotheby's Institute of Art-London; and a Ph.D. in Contemporary Art and Critical Theory from the University of Arizona. Previously Assistant Professor of Global Art History at the University of Denver, Dr. Jackson Fox's research base is expressly trans-national, with publications in Germany, Italy, Poland, Great Britain, and the U.S.

These days, she works with her colleagues to increase the accessibility -- physical and digital -- and digital research potential of CCP’s collections.
