Gwen Wright
"A good, scientific investigation has to have clarity - a specific question and strategy - since the results, as in science, may be unexpected."
Gwen is one of the most-respected thinkers in her field. And when the history detectives started working together, the team quickly learned to take full advantage of her mental acuity.
When the search for evidence hits a roadblock (and every investigation eventually does) the team relies on Gwen to come up with well-reasoned suggestions and alternative strategies.
The detective most likely to think outside the box, Gwen is particularly adept at organizing the clues and weighing the evidence.
Even when there's a break in the investigative action, some corner of her brain will still be sifting the puzzle pieces in search of solutions.
Case in Point
When Gwen talks about History Detectives, she speaks in terms
of connections: the historical links, team interaction and
her role in tying it all together for viewers.
An investigator must have curiosity, determination, and an interest in unraveling the "knots" of the past, not just the smooth, obvious strands."
Gwen's most recent publication is USA: Modern Architectures in History about this country's distinctive and exhilarating modern architecture.
