Join us for the Office of Research Developments' (ORD) Researcher Speaker Series 3Tr@3, a monthly program recognizing UMKC’s faculty researchers and grant-getters. Our guest researcher this month is Dr. Jane Greer. Greer focuses on women's rhetorical performances and literacy practices in 19th and 20th century US, including historical representation in public spaces. Leading the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Scholarship, she champions student development through research, backed by a Research Initiative Grant. Collaborating across institutions, she shapes strategies for supporting undergrad researchers and mentors. In collaboration with cultural establishments like the National Museum of Toys & Miniatures, she designs courses where students create exhibits showcasing shared historical narratives. She's affiliated with UMKC's Center for Digital and Public Humanities. Notably, her book, "Unorganized Women: Repetitive Rhetorical Labor and Low-Wage Workers, 1834-1937" studies how women leveraged writing skills for economic empowerment. As UMKC's undergraduate research director, Greer incorporates student research into the Kansas City Women’s History Trail via the Clio app, developed by her fellow UMKC colleague, Dr. David Trowbridge. 

Hosted by the Office of Research Development and the CAFE Research and Creativity Pillar.
