Ariel Schnee is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in American History at the University of Oklahoma. She holds a master's degree in public history from Colorado State University. Her research addresses the histories of American public lands and their intersections with the environment, race, ethnicity, and gender. Her public history projects include oral histories of CSU students during the COVID-19 pandemic, award-winning history curriculum development, interactive digital maps, and cultural resources management planning for many of Colorado's state parks. When not writing about or researching public lands, she enjoys trail running, hiking, camping, and skiing on them.
