Do not expect a traditional history essay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wood grew up in Rothwell Heights, close to the river, and will graduate Friday with a master\u2019s degree in public history, with a specialization in digital humanities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took her some eight months to choose sources and gather the data for this, the major project for her master\u2019s degree. Much of this time she was an intern at the Canada Science and Technology Museum and the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum. The museums gave her some research funding and access to artifacts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below is a short excerpt from the Ottawa Citizen article about Cristina Wood&#8216;s research as part of her MA in Public History here at Carleton University.
