This panel discussion shared faculty and student perspectives on public history internships as a part of the educational and career training process. Internships provide students with opportunities to build upon historical skills learned in the classroom and apply them in a real-world setting. However, internships have increasingly come under fire as potential labor exploitation. This panel discussion will highlight the internship experiences of three students and one faculty mentor as they discuss the pros and cons of internships in the public history field.
The presenters are Michelle Martin, assistant professor of history and coordinator of public history certificate, Northeastern State University (NSU); Isaac Carroll, student intern, Carl Albert College Archives and Special Collections and senior at NSU; Alex Joffe, student intern at Fort Gibson Historic Site and senior at NSU; and Vo Sanders, student intern at the Cherokee National Research Center and a recent graduate of NSU. This session was part of “Perspectives in History”: The Oklahoma History Symposium presented on May 4, 2024, at the Oklahoma History Center.
