I am co-convener of MGH Futures with Gönül Bozoğlu. Our programme of webinars and in-person events aim to offer a deeper insight into the different pathways and careers in the museum, galleries and heritage sector. I also co-run the student-led extracurricular exhibition-making programme, 'Cabinet' with Phil Deans.
I occasionally teach onto the undergraduate Fine Art programme.
I am deeply informed by feminist praxis and its conceptions of care. My research is grounded in material, environmental and object-orientated theories in feminism, and how these theories intersect and connect with contemporary curatorial practice and the changing role of MGH practitioners in the 21st Century.
Research interests include:
- Developments in contemporary curating practice.
- Contemporary curating practice and its relationship to care.
- Situated and embodied curating practices.
- Polyphony in contemporary curating.
- Curating practice and its relationship to site.
- Critical Spatial Practice.
- The organisation of contemporary art and its publics.
- Transdisciplinary approaches to MGH practices.
