Beth McNeill is currently a student in the M.A of Public History program at Carleton. She holds a B.A. in History (Honours) and International Relations from Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. Her current research focuses on uses of humour in the work of historical interpreters at living history museums, and how this joking impacts visitor encounters in the discursive arena of the museum. Her other research interests include Canadian and European political history, labour movements, Atlantic Canadian social history, folk cultures, museum narrativity, and community heritage and memory. Originally from the East Coast, she has previously worked in both collections cataloging and archives, and is currently the Research Assistant for the Carleton Centre for Public History.
