| Fellow Stephanie Dolamore getting an eyeful of Baltimore |
Stephanie Dolamore has a strategy for addressing residential challenges for traditionally under-served populations: first, by exploring the past, and assessing Baltimore’s issues in finding sustainable housing for people in need. Second, by getting the word out--via symposium, the classroom, or even by creating what she calls an "empathy museum" where insights into housing history can be brought to life. Dolamore is a graduate research assistant pursuing her doctorate in
Public Administration at UB, and one of the fellows doing research in
Langsdale Special Collections this summer (check out our interview with the other fellowship recipient, Caitlin Rathe,
here.) All of this research will culminate in a program on August 31st, where Dolamore and Rathe will present “Meeting Basic Needs: Structural Inequality and Public Services in Baltimore” (4:30-5:30 p.m., Bogolmony Room,
UB Student Center-- mark your calendars!.) In the meantime, Stephanie agreed to give us a sneak peek at what she’s uncovered in Special Collections so far.
