Meredith Lancaster is a curator, art historian, archivist, and social media maven. She serves on the Black Alumni Board of Directors at the University of Oregon and is a member of the Society of American Archivists, the Black Caucus American Library Association, and the American Library Association. Meredith, who calls both Los Angeles and Chicago home, imbues her work with diversity, accessibility, and inclusion, particularly focussing on women and people of color. Her 2018 exhibition at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, “Don’t Touch My Hair: Expressions of Identity and Community,” used text and photography to explore how hair upholds and questions our sense of otherness and autonomy. Meredith is a plant mama, a member of the storied Los Angeles Breakfast Club, and harnessed her pandemic angst to earn a second Master's degree, in LIbrary and Information Science.
