Some Changes at The Cultural Landscape Foundation
Recently, The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) said goodbye to Project Manager Celia Carnes and welcomed Jacqueline Shin as our Senior Editor and Project Manager.
In her time at TCLF, Celia managed the research, writing, and external collaboration for several projects, including Landslide 2021: Race & Space and Landslide 2022: The Olmsted Design Legacy; What’s Out There Weekends in Washington, D.C., St. Louis, MO, Long Island, NY, and Cleveland, OH; and the 2022 What’s Out There Olmsted digital guide. Team TCLF cheers her on as she moves to a new role with the American Institute of Architects.
Jacqueline Shin has a Ph.D. in English Literature from Princeton University and a B.A. and M.A. from the University of British Columbia (she grew up in Vancouver). Before joining TCLF Jacqueline was an Associate Professor of English at Towson University. Her published work focused on twentieth-century British literature, primarily works written by women and texts located at the intersection of writing, photography, film, and painting. She became drawn to the study of place through researching her own neighborhood in Baltimore, and since the beginning of 2022 has been taking courses towards a Master’s degree in Historic Preservation at Goucher College. This summer she was a Chair’s Intern at the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, working on a research project supervised by Chair Sara Bronin. Jacqueline is also dedicated to recovering and sharing the history of Baltimore’s Chinese and Chinese American community, currently through oral histories and a planned museum exhibition.
Although academically trained to read and analyze literary texts, Jacqueline sees a strong overlap between reading texts and landscapes; both are multi-layered and encapsulate change over time. Jacqueline brings to this position a passion for cultural landscapes, especially those associated with marginalized groups and previously untold (ignored, displaced, erased) stories.
