Rachel Boyle has been a public historian since high school, when she once set up an interactive booth at the local mall to teach kids about economic inequality during the Great Depression. Now holding a PhD and over ten years of professional experience, Boyle continues to blend critical historical practice with meaningful community engagement.
Boyle currently teaches history courses at DePaul University and conducts historical research for the National Park Service. She also teaches and writes for public audiences, using scholarship to inform her public history work and vice versa. She has worked with cultural organizations ranging from local community groups to national institutions, managing digital history projects, curating exhibits, and conducting historical research.
