 Our committee is complete! Please allow me to introduce three unique (and quite frankly) brilliant individuals that Hope and I are delighted to welcome to the student and new professional committee — Anita, Dave, and Claire! They have volunteered to contribute their time, ideas, and talents to help expand our international public history student and new professional network. Together we have big plans and collaborations in store and we need YOU to help us along. Please be sure to follow us on Twitter @ifphstupro and/or Facebook. Soon we will be asking you, your fellow students, and colleagues — from all corners of the globe— to help keep our international community informed about public history projects, events, and opportunities in your area. So stay tuned...! But for now, without further adieu — I present our new committee members!Anita Lucchesi, Communications Co-coordinatorAnita holds a master’s degree in comparative history  from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), with digital history as the mainspring of her MA dissertation.

In 2014, Anita was the responsible historian for the crowdsourcing @Rio450 project of the City Council of Rio the Janeiro, a commemorative project for the 450th anniversary of the city, celebrated in March 2015. Additionally, she is a researcher at the Group of Current History Studies (Grupo de Estudos do Tempo Presente) at the Federal University of Sergipe and editor of the Cadernos do Tempo Presente. Since 2008, intrigued by discussions on digital history and public history, she maintains a blog dedicated to the topic in Portuguese: Historiografia na Rede. Beginning in September of this year, Anita will pursue her PhD in history with a special emphasis on digital history at the University of Luxembourg.Language: Portuguese, Italian and EnglishTwitter: @alucchesiEmail: anita.lucchesi@gmail.comLinks: CV, Academia.edu, LinkedIn, Blog.&#160;Dave Earl, Communications Co-coordinator Dave is a PhD candidate in the Department of History at the University of Sydney,  based in the Race and Ethnicity in the Global South Research Collaboration. He teaches history in the Faculty of Education and Social Work's Indigenous Education Program.
