W&M and Colonial Williamsburg announce Bray School's future location, launch initiative to research its history and legacy
Professor, author, and humanities scholar Maureen Elgersman Lee will serve as director of the newly created William & Mary Bray School Lab. Nicole Brown, a member of Colonial Williamsburg’s corps of Nation Builder interpreters who portrays Bray School Headmistress Ann Wager, will join the research lab team on a part-time basis. A master’s student in American Studies at the university, Brown has conducted considerable research on the Bray School and will join the team as the William & Mary Bray School Lab Assistant while pursuing her master’s degree. Brown will continue part-time in her role as Ann Wager at the foundation.
“The work of Nicole Brown – her own personal research, her graduate research and her experience as a living-history interpreter at Colonial Williamsburg – will add so much to the work of the lab,” Elgersman Lee said.
