Jill M. Gradwell, Professor; and Kathryn Leacock, Lecturer of Museum Studies, History and Social Studies Education

Jill M. Gradwell, professor of history and coordinator of social studies education, and Kathryn H. Leacock, director of collections at the Buffalo Museum of Science and lecturer of museum studies, both in Buffalo State's History and Social Studies Education Department, edited the recently published book Finding History Where You Least Expect It: Site-Based Strategies for Teaching about the Past. They collaborated with 21 local museum educators and personnel, including Daniel DiLandro, head of archives and special collections in Butler Library, to highlight how museum programming, object-based learning, and site-specific education can bring history to life in the most unlikely places or in the most unlikely ways.
