At the Smithsonian Institution Women’s Council in Washington, DC, Kristen Lowe completed an internship in conjunction with the Political Science Department’s Washington International Semester Program. She researched and developed information and outreach materials on women’s history globally, women in film, and relevant DC-area events in observance of Women’s History Month. She wrote for, and helped lay out and produce, the Council’s quarterly newsletter. She organized brown bag lunch lecture events for Smithsonian employees and helped organize and document the national Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day at the Smithsonian. She also helped research and produce historic timelines of Latin American culture, economics, and politics for the International Relations unit of the Community Constituent Services department of the Smithsonian.
