\"Terry<\/a><\/p>\n

Terry Fife<\/strong><\/p>\n

Terry Fife enjoys the challenge of tackling new and unusual topics and crafting histories that are grounded in the broader context of the American story. A practicing historian for more than three decades, she has developed special skills in oral and visually-based history, and in making solid scholarship accessible to general audiences.<\/p>\n

Prior to founding History Works, Fife worked as a curator at the Chicago Historical Society, now the Chicago History Museum. She served as a co-curator of “We the People: Creating a New Nation, 1765-1820,” an inventive exhibition about the American Revolution and early national era. For many years, she has taught part-time in the Public History Program at Loyola University. Fife is a graduate of Beloit College and Northern Illinois University, where she studied American social history with Alfred F. Young.<\/p>\n

She has a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and history from the University of Notre Dame, a master’s degree in teaching from Boston College, and a master’s degree in public history from Loyola University Chicago.
