• A successful experience in American culture and language, with advanced proficiency in personal and interpersonal communication skills.
Deep interaction with Science, Technology and American History enriched by visiting The Museum of Science and Technology, Historical Monuments in Boston-MA.This was my best practical experience. Extraordinary for my education.
How can designers bring audiences closer to science stories? How can you bring ice into a museum without it melting? This project started as an obsession with glaciers as archives of data, and a desire to illustrate these otherwise unseen depths. All too often, we value the world around us for its untapped resources or potential economic advantages. And it is too easy to forget both the interdependence between ourselves and our planet, and the importance of advocating for nature’s agency and protection. Overture(Polar) was exhibited at the MSU Museum in the New Horizons Gallery in Fall of 2022 in East Lansing, Michigan.
This is what I learned from several courses at the School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester #heritage and its concepts were constructed by the power or the majority. #museum is one of the powers. People believe that a museum is a valid knowledge institution. Hence, whatever the museum puts on display is a trustworthy statement. Museum play a significant role in declaring both tangible & intangible heritage. Thus, it is essential for a museum to have experts and professionals who are related to the museum, collections, and its mission. Museum needs to act ethically and professionally as public trust the institution as a knowledge centre. https://lnkd.in/gnfeDB-a
'Team Pigment' colleagues are now unearthing more of the stories hidden beneath the surface of Durham’s medieval manuscripts, thanks to £400,000 from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Capability for Collections Fund (CapCo). AHRC-CapCo funding helps research institutes and universities renew and improve their facilities for collections-led research, focusing on conservation and heritage science facilities, digital capture equipment and specialist study spaces; ensuring UK researchers and innovators have use of world class laboratories, equipment and digital resources. Funding awarded to ‘Team Pigment’ (Tony King and Andy Beeby) between 2020 and 2021 has enabled the Durham Library and Collections facilities to obtain new state-of-the-art optical analysis equipment. Durham's 'Team Pigment' have consequently made a leap in the level of detail with which they can analyse the components used to produce illuminated manuscripts. This knowledge sheds light not only on how individual manuscripts were produced, but also on the availability of the materials used to paint them and therefore the evolution of international trade networks. The work is invaluable to historians exploring cultural, social and economic development between the 7th and 15th centuries. 👉 A new book, ‘The Pigments of British Medieval Illuminators: a scientific and cultural study’ was published last year, sharing some of this new data. This publication documents the analysis of over 400 medieval books held at Durham and elsewhere, and includes some of the most historically significant historical manuscripts in the UK. 👉 Read our earlier post about the work of ‘Team Pigment’, here: https://lnkd.in/dK5uCVjK #transformativehumanities #creativitycultureheritage #sciencehumanities #History #Interdisciplinary #Science #spectroscopy #imaging #chemistry #LibraryandCollections Tony King Andy Beeby Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)
From medieval manuscripts to Chinese ceramics and engravings from Versailles, find out how our project teams have been able to upgrade our heritage facilities and introduce state-of-the-art equipment, improving research capabilities and opening our collections to wider audiences. As the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) World Class Labs programme comes to a close, we are reflecting on the impact the funding has had hear at Durham. 👉 https://brnw.ch/21wNDVd
Visit the first online maritime museum: https://lnkd.in/dX5TzbQk The Greek Shipping Miracle, the first online maritime museum, was established in 2014 by author, maritime historian and former shipowner George M. Foustanos as an effort to raise awareness about the Greek shipping industry and its long-standing contribution to both the Greek and the global economy. This educational website enables visitors to explore the modern and contemporary history of the world’s leading merchant marine power in the familiar format of a museum layout.
Interested in science & technology museums? Then you might like to read 'unquestionably the best book so far published on the subject' (as judged by Robert Anderson in the latest _British Journal for the History of Science_). Nice. https://lnkd.in/emvDDtet

This book is an excellent read for understanding the narrative and symbolism of a #NewColdWar and how the old paraphernalia of objects, symbols, and discourses are reinterpreted in a different context shaped by technological and informational changes. Museums, perhaps, hide more than they reveal about what the #ColdWar was—or how we think it was. The book takes the lead in developing the collection, display, and interpretation of this complex history. Its chapters explore what defines a Cold War object, examine the complexities of Cold War temporality, address issues of race, gender, and imperialism, and investigate how to materialize the Cold War imaginary in museum settings. Importantly, the volume underscores the value of considering the interconnecting forces of global twentieth-century history to add depth and nuance to the #narratives that experts construct. This enhances visitor understanding through innovative approach. #LibroRecomendado #WorthToRead
The unique challenges facing museum specialists dealing with the Cold War, this book takes a lead in developing the collection, display and interpretation of this history. The chapters question what makes a Cold War object; address the complexity of Cold War time; face up to questions of Cold War race, gender and imperialism; and reveal how to materialise the Cold War imaginary in museums. Most importantly perhaps, the volume demonstrates that, a consideration of the interconnecting forces of global twentieth-century history enables experts to add important complexity and nuance to the narratives with which they work and improve visitor understandings through innovative interpretations 240p 2024 Routledge https://lnkd.in/gkafsuWT
"How can a museum founded on colonial power and privilege challenge its most enduring associations?" This is one of the questions that guided my talk to the VIU Arts & Humanities Colloquium in 2021. If you work in the GLAM sector you might find this presentation helpful! https://lnkd.in/gxSaTATn

📣 Institute Spotlight: Restoring Cultural Context 📣 🌎 Indigenous Knowledge Systems & Repatriation Dr. Jessie Loyer, a featured panelist at ID:EALS 2024, explains how repatriation helps repair cultural fractures by restoring the context of artifacts, which are often viewed in isolation within museums, rather than as part of a holistic knowledge system. #IndigenousKnowledgeSystems #ArtifactContext #InformationLiteracy #InformationAndIdentity 🎞 Clipped from her presentation titled, “Collections Are Our Relatives: Indigenous Interventions” 📚 Established in 2021 by the Purdue University Libraries and School of Information, the Institute for Information Literacy at Purdue (IILP) supports research that examines complex information challenges to develop information literacy models that enable people to successfully navigate and contribute to today’s information environment.
