Biography

I am a Senior Lecturer in Museum and Heritage Education at the University of Glasgow and Programme Lead of the MSc Museum Education which I developed in 2017. In 2019, drawing on my international museum and heritage network relations, I built an international consortium of academic and practitioner experts and led the development of an innovative new International Master of Education in Museums and Heritage (EDUMaH). In 2023, EDUMaH was awarded Erasmus funding, becoming an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters. Both the MSc Museum Education and EDUMaH explore the intersections between education, culture, arts, societal issues and heritage and both programmes are characterised by strong links with field practice and professionals.

I have published on Teacher Education and Museum and Heritage Education and have presented at numerous international conferences on both subjects.
