Courtesy of the Trustees of Boston Public Library. Learned from Our Neighbors exhibit I worked with a team of undergraduate students in 2019-2020 to create a series of exhibits about immigrant life in Boston’s West End, before that neighborhood was razed in the name of urban renewal in the late 1950s. We drew from the archival papers of pioneering social worker Eva Whiting White and records from the Boston City Archives. We curated Learned from Our Neighbors: Stories from the Elizabeth Peabody Settlement House, first as a digital exhibit, then as a conventional exhibit which opened at the West End Museum in April 2021. This project was made possible through funding from the “Humanities for the Public Good” initiative of the Council of Independent Colleges. https://www.laurarprieto.com/media-news-interviews daily 0.75 2024-10-13 https://www.laurarprieto.com/home-2 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfa6e27cbb206000190cda7/1560018061726-4NAMH4RJ105SZAHLDXT1/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfa6e27cbb206000190cda7/1560447935792-PAK3A9XLILAKTS6OIVIY/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfa6e27cbb206000190cda7/1560018111434-GQGJF3GXZP90MVOI3D3B/image-asset.jpeg Home https://www.laurarprieto.com/portfolio-1 daily 0.75 2020-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8a2741afd4fc4e07501815/1579345918028-2DFXK9TSDWARETI0BUQX/9780674004863-lg.jpg Writing and Research My first book, At Home in the Studio: The Professionalization of Women Artists in America (Harvard University Press) studies how women painters, sculptors, and illustrators created a professional identity for themselves in the face of exclusion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8a2741afd4fc4e07501815/1578773054187-ZMZJUI6002DZZCRO0L3N/Clemencia+Lopez+portrait.jpg Writing and Research - My current research traces women’s transnational work and activism, within and across the overseas empire that the United States established in the Caribbean and Pacific. I’ve written about women travelers and teachers, physicians and nurses, missionaries and journalists, anti-imperialists and suffragists — including Clemencia López (picture, left). https://www.laurarprieto.com/portfolio-1/project-one-5nmxl monthly 0.5 2021-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8a2741afd4fc4e07501815/1579345121106-YM5QHXUKM184SGLAQ0R7/615%2BS7e7hhL.jpg Writing and Research - Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8a2741afd4fc4e07501815/1578777455037-SBG8490EUMQWF79P6TWJ/At+Home+in+the+Studio.jpg Writing and Research - Books https://www.laurarprieto.com/portfolio-1/video monthly 0.5 2020-01-16 https://www.laurarprieto.com/portfolio-1/blogs-and-media monthly 0.5 2020-05-28 https://www.laurarprieto.com/portfolio-1/project-two-z94xd monthly 0.5 2020-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8a2741afd4fc4e07501815/1578775000928-I2GCVSHM85XPJUND7AAY/Women+in+Transnational+History.jpg Writing and Research - Essays https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8a2741afd4fc4e07501815/1578774894268-PTV8Z16HUGO97SBTKJR6/Competing+Kingdoms.jpg Writing and Research - Essays
