Testimonials
“I am deeply impressed by Gabrielle’s creativity, flexibility of approach, and clarity of thought and communication, She is one of the most intelligent, quick-witted, and creative scholar/practitioners in the public humanities.”
“Gabrielle is one of the most unusual and brilliant young scholars I have ever met. Her work exudes creativity and intelligence. In addition to being a superb intellectual and artist, Gabrielle is also a wonderful colleague. She is reliable, organized, thoughtful in all senses of the word, and practical. ”
“When we worked on a divisive, long-term community planning process, Gabrielle’s partnership and collaborative exhibitions created new spaces for neighborhood conversation. She created peacemaking space.”
