Jamie-Lukas’s work is guided by a belief that communication, research, and leadership should be clear, humane, inclusive, and accessible. He is especially interested in work that amplifies people and communities that have been excluded from institutions, the archives, and public life. He created the TUS Initiative alongside his doctoral work to support those causes and has worked with institutions in the UK and Ireland, and the US to promote those ideals.
