Rachel Lobo is a fourth year doctoral student at York University’s Faculty of Environmental Studies, supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Her research examines how archival practice can establish new signifying spaces that create historical agency. Specifically, she is interested in how photographic archives disrupt the production of hegemonic narratives, and construct racial knowledge and cultural identity. Rachel received her Masters in Photographic Preservation and Collections Management from Ryerson University, and has held curatorial and archival internships at the Royal Ontario Museum and the Ryerson Image Centre respectively.
