Affiliée Étudiante
Jasmin Anisa Cardillo is currently a graduate student in History at Concordia University, where she is completing her MA research. Her work explores the intergenerational experiences of Italian Canadians in Montreal, with a focus on homeownership, identity, and belonging. Through oral history, she is especially interested in how stories are shared across generations and how memory shapes our understanding of place.
Alongside her academic work, she is a teacher with the English Montreal School Board. In the classroom, she is passionate about making history meaningful and accessible, striving to create an environment where students feel connected to the past and recognize its relevance in their own lives.
She also brings experience in public history, curation, and oral history. Her past work includes contributing to exhibitions and digital projects such as Refugee Boulevard: Making Montreal Home After the Holocaust with the Montreal Holocaust Museum, as well as the AR Cité project at Dawson College. Through these experiences, she has worked closely with testimonies, archival materials, and community narratives, helping to bring forward stories that are often overlooked or underrepresented.
At the heart of both her teaching and research is a deep passion for storytelling. She believes that stories are one of the most powerful ways we make sense of the world, build connections, and preserve lived experiences. Whether in a classroom, an exhibition space, or through oral history interviews, she is committed to sharing knowledge in a way that is engaging, human, and grounded in real voices.
