Amy Woodson-Boulton, professor of history at Loyola Marymount University, speaks about her experience working with student curators and staff at the William H. Hannon Library to create the Spring 2022 exhibition, "Beneath the Banner of the Cross: The Global Vision of the Early Jesuits."
Using stunning original books and manuscripts from the William H. Hannon Library, the exhibition marks 400 years since the canonization of Jesuit founders St. Ignatius of Loyola and St. Francis Xavier and explores the complex legacies of the order’s global mission. Students in professor Amy Woodson-Boulton’s fall 2021 course HIST 4910 ("Topics in Public History: Exhibiting Sainthood") had the opportunity to curate original objects from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries with the support of Cynthia Becht, head of the archives and special collections. Open to any major, HIST 4910 introduces students to the discipline and practice of public history. At museums, libraries, historic sites, in film and media, in art and memorials, in books and online, public historians engage broad audiences in complex and often controversial issues of history, memory, commemoration, and identity.
