Dr. Elizabeth Kryder-Reid is Professor of Anthropology and Museum Studies in the IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI and Director of the Cultural Heritage Research Center and the former Director (1998-2013) of the IUPUI Museum Studies Program. With a background in archaeology, art history, and public history, her research investigates cultural heritage and explores questions of how humans appropriate the tangible and intangible remnants of the past and mobilize them in the constitution of social relationships. Her particular focus is the intersections of landscape and power and how materiality, whether the built environment or other forms of material culture, is deployed in the contestation of social inequalities across boundaries such as gender, race, class, ethnicity, and religion. She has disseminated this work in a variety of scholarly formats, including peer-reviewed publications and publically accessible exhibits, forums, and online platforms. Her current research focuses on landscape history and the production of public memory, particularly in the California missions, and she her monograph California Mission Landscapes: Memory, Race, and the Politics of Heritage will be published by the University of Minnesota Press in 2016. She has also published on the history of gardens and landscapes in the Chesapeake and in California. She co-edited a special theme issue of the Journal of Garden History on "Site and Sight in the Garden" (1994) with D. Fairchild Ruggles, and is a contributing author to Keywords in American Landscape Design (Yale University Press, 2010). She was the principal investigator of the IMLS funded project "Shaping Outcomes" (www.shapingoutcomes.org), an on-line training resource in outcomes based planning and evaluation. Her research and teaching interests also include museology, museum administration, and archaeological public interpretation. She has been the recipient of an IUPUI Trustees Teaching Award (2003, 2013), an AMM Professional Service Award, an AAUP Publication Grant (2008), and the Society of Architectural Historians’ Landscape History Essay Prize (2012).
