This short video introduces the lens that guides my work as I begin an on-site Museum Studies seminar in Washington, DC. Grounded in an audience-centered approach, my focus is on how museums communicate meaning through objects, space, interpretation, and accessibility.
Observing Museum Practice
The posts that follow will document museum visits, conversations with professionals, and behind-the-scenes observations across a range of institutions. While this work is part of my graduate studies, it is also shared as public fieldwork, an opportunity to think critically about museum practice as it unfolds.
