In 2009 O’Neill co-chaired the international Vernacular Architecture Forum conference in Butte, Montana. She has served for six years on the Montana Committee for the Humanities Speakers Bureau, presenting on-going research on the morphology of historic agricultural structures in the Rocky Mountain West, and the relationship of building form and construction to family and community knowledge.
