Expertise
My PhD project “Textile Care in and Beyond the Museum” researches sites of textile maintenance, conservation, and repair taking place around cultural institutions. Blending interdisciplinary studies on early needlework samplers with auto-ethnographic and participatory action research in conservation laboratories, artists’ studios, and community workshops, my project approaches textile care as cultural heritage, embodied knowledge, and as a hands-on pedagogical method. I teach, lecture, and supervise on BA and MA courses, and my writing has appeared in Museums and Social Issues, Soapbox Journal for Cultural Analysis, Re:Visions Berlin, and the environmental humanities magazine Ecoes.
