Research Professor, American Indian Teacher Program
Historian Tracy Prince, Ph.D. is a Research Professor at PSU's Department of Curriculum & Instruction, a Fulbright Specialist (Malta), and author: Notable Women of Portland, Culture Wars in British Literature, Portland's Goose Hollow, and Portland's Slabtown. She has spent over two decades teaching in Turkey, Canada, and the United States, with extensive research time in England, Australia, South Africa, and France.
Dr. Prince uncovers overlooked parts of history, art, and literature, with research focusing on Native American art and history of Oregon, Chinese vegetable gardens of the West Coast, and her family history of cotton sharecroppers in Arkansas. She has taught in Humanities, English, Urban Studies, Women's Studies, and College of Education departments.
AUTHOR:
Notable Women of Portland (2017, Arcadia, co-authored with Zadie Schaffer), her research reveals the almost completely forgotten presence of Native Americans in Portland history and other complex ethnic and blue-collar stories that are often overlooked in Portland histories. The book includes chapters on Native and pioneer women, women of the Progressive Era, women of WWI, WWII, and post-war Portland, and chapters on Women in the Arts and Women in Politics. https://www.notablewomenofportland.com
Culture Wars in British Literature: Multiculturalism and National Identity (2012, McFarland), focuses on enormous changes in what it means to be British in the last century--asking who is included and who is excluded in a British identity and how that is revealed in British literature, with comparisons to America's civil rights movement.
Portland’s Slabtown (2013, Arcadia, co-authored) Dr. Prince's research uncovered a formerly unknown Native American village in northwest Portland in the long-forgotten and infilled Johnson Creek Gulch, and she uncovered much more extensive Chinese vegetable gardens than previously known.
Portland's Goose Hollow (2011, Arcadia), the history of Native American, Chinese, Irish, German, and Jewish residents of one of Portland’s oldest neighborhoods and the now-buried Tanner Creek that carved out the gulch giving Goose Hollow its name.
Plus many articles and book chapters.
Books in Progress: Native American Art of Oregon, Native American History of Early Portland, Chinese Vegetable Gardens of the West Coast, Might Oughta Keep Singin' (cotton sharecroppers, race, and music in the American South told through four generations in Arkansas).
TILIKUM CROSSING:
Dr. Prince is proud to have been one of the people who nominated the name for Tilikum Crossing, Bridge of the People. The Grand Ronde tribe, who are dedicated to keeping Chinuk Wawa (also called the Jargon or Chinook Jargon) alive, also nominated the Tilikum name. Dr. Prince heard that the naming committee was leaning toward honoring Oregon suffragist Abigail Scott Duniway (though Duniway already had a park and school named after her). She felt that Portland does not know about most of its Native American history and does a poor job acknowledging what little it knows. So she wrote an op-ed teaching the importance of Chinook Jargon to pioneers and Native residents in Portland's first 70 years. This op-ed was influential in persuading the committee to choose Tilikum, a Chinook Wawa name meaning "the people."

NON-PROFIT ADMINISTRATOR AND CONSULTANT:
For over a decade Dr. Prince juggled an academic career and a career consulting for and being an executive for non-profit organizations, working on board development, program development, public relations, marketing, and fundraising. She raised over $9 million for cultural, educational, and social service agencies, including raising the funds to build 2 transitional housing facilities for the homeless (in Omaha and Oklahoma City) and an NEH funded documentary "A Home Out West" for which she was Executive Producer.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION:
In 2017 she celebrated two big historic preservation victories:
1) Jantzen Beach Carousel: Dr. Prince worked for five years with Dr. Tanya March and the Architectural Heritage Center to save the Jantzen Beach Carousel (writing op-eds, writing the Restore Oregon nomination for Most Endangered Place, meeting with politicians and activists, and keeping public attention on the carousel). In 2017 it was finally saved from being sold off or left in storage by the real estate company that demolished the building it was in, when ownership was transferred to Restore Oregon to find its final home.
2) Morris Marks House: Dr. Prince worked for seven years on the Save the Morris Marks House Committee which was pivotal in helping save this beloved Italianate house.
She continues to advocate for restoration of the historic Vista Bridge. And she has written op-eds arguing that historic preservation saves our most affordable housing and helps protect buildings that are important to our cultural and ethnic histories.
CONSULTING HISTORIAN:
Dr. Tracy Prince has been a consulting historian for Oregon Historical Society's Social Studies 3rd grade Curriculum Project for Portland Public Schools, for PSU to add Native history to classes in Curriculum & Instruction department, and for design features and public art/history panels incorporating history on many public and private development projects, including: Providence Park Stadium, public art on the Tilikum Crossing bridge, Vanport Placemaking Project, and consultations on historical photos used in many buildings in Portland.
