This summer, Monica Daniels was awarded a Humanities Engage Summer Immersive Fellowship to undertake research for a collaborative exhibition project between the University Art Gallery and Rivers of Steel.
As Monica explains in her introductory blog post, her "primary role is to explore the Pitt and Rivers of Steel archives and collections, identifying objects that reveal the societal impact of folklore heroes and cultural pride within the labor force. By bringing a humanistic perspective to Rivers of Steel, I aim to align my research with their mission of community engagement."
