Brief Biography:
Anthea Hartig holds a Master's Degree in Historic Resources Management from UC Riverside, where she will receive a Ph.D. in United States History this year. As a third generation Southern Californian, Hartig's interest in its historic built environment makes little sense to most, but has come to define her professional and avocational life. She has served as a preservation planner for the past eight years, most recently at the Senior Planner level for the City of Riverside. She has published in both academic and professional journals and has been a lecturer at Cal State Fullerton and La Sierra University. She is deeply committed to bringing public humanities programs to the region and has worked to fulfill this dream for the past ten years.
