Works at the Australian Museum. Access to knowledge is her mission. A journey into the GLAM world - galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. Views her own. Sydney, New South WalesJoined August 2017
It’s incredibly hard to describe how utterly sad it feels to be a scientist and dad in a country being dictated to by a small group of science-denying clowns putting their own short term political gain over the long term public interest.
Crafting bespoke tours of the oldest museum gallery in Australia, then following feminist thinkers into the entanglements of living in blasted landscapes... Just another day in the Museum
What could be political about roots? Significance of the garden is related to all the things you can’t see: the roots. There’s danger & loss in disregarding the non-physical sustenance that cultural roots provide. #HumanNature2018@austmus
What is the politics of gardening? Alice Te Punga Somerville discusses restoring spaces to their histories. But which history, and who gets to restore it? #HumanNature2018#environmentalhumanities@austmus
An excellent, frank, Chatham House-ruled session on GLAM careers detailed by external forces. Seems there’s an opportunity for our sector bodies like @museumsaust to do more to provide support, troubleshooting advice, contacts and legal counsel to GLAM professionals #MGAConf2018
Loved what @vivianegosselin just said about museums being places where we can rehearse ideas, modes of practice and engagement that aren’t yet mainstream. Museums are a place for pushing at the edges, test-driving ideas and modelling the way/s forward #MGAConf2018
How can museums better access, incorporate and protect intangible knowledge, instead of fixating on only one part of the story, represented by tangible knowledge? Questions inspired by @SaywhatNathan
Can museums learn to lead and then step back and listen?
