Anna Lehr Mueser is a PhD candidate in the History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania. Her work explores the intersections of collective memory and watershed management and development. Her dissertation, “Land After Technology” examines how collective memories and knowledge practices in the Catskill Mountains of New York have addressed, resisted, and incorporated the history of New York City’s watershed development in the twentieth century. She approaches themes including tacit knowledge, belonging and identity, place, resource development, state regulation through the lens of collective memory. In this context, she puts together conceptions of heritage, territorial belonging, and loss with environmental and technological development in the United States. Anna is also a book and paper artist, working in letterpress, book arts, cut paper, and watercolor engage with place knowledge and narrative. She has served on the volunteer board of The Soapbox, a West Philadelphia-based printmaking nonprofit, since 2014.
