Marjorie K. McIntosh retired as a Distinguished Professor after teaching History for 28 years at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Since 1986, she has published eight books, five of which won prizes or special recognition, and received numerous teaching and service awards. Her publications include studies of rural communities, small towns, social regulation, women's work, and poor relief in England, 1300-1600. More recently, while serving as a visiting professor in Uganda and Nigeria, she did research and published studies with an African colleague about women in those countries; she helped one institution set up a regionally focused local history project. After mobilizing support for creation of the Boulder County Latino History Project and making the 1,600 sources it assembled available for use on its website, she is now engaged with the BCLHP's work with K-12 teachers. She serves also as the advisor for a project to document and describe the impressive history of Latino civil rights activity in the little town of Center in Colorado's San Luis Valley. See less
