Raechel Lutz ('07--History & Art History) publishes "Petroleum’s Park: How Oil Shaped the Palisades Interstate Park, 1900–1960" in the journal Technology and Culture and "Get a High School Teaching Job" in Environmental History Now.

Published in the premier journal of the history of technology, "Petroleum Park" explores the impact the oil industry had, ironically, in conservation and park creation in the U.S.  Highlighting the rewards of teaching at the secondary level with a Ph.D., "Get a High School Teaching Job" appears in a new on-line journal that advocates for broader representation in the field of environmenatl history.  After receiving her bachelor's degree at IC, Raechel went on to receive a Ph.D. from Rutgers University.  She has returned to campus in person and virtually on multiple occasions to mentor IC students.
