Hi all,
To fulfill my Master's dissertation requirement in educational research, I am conducting interviews to better understand staff perceptions on museum aims, using contested Confederate statuary as a case study. Although the topic has been addressed by media, civic leadership, and museum organizations, no information is available on the local level; this research is intended to give voice to individuals who make interpretive and educational decisions in museums. As a museum leader, you can provide valuable first-hand information from your own perspective.
The interview will be around 30 to 60 minutes and is very informal. Your responses to the questions will be kept confidential. Each interview will be assigned a number code to help ensure that personal identifiers are not revealed during the analysis and write up of findings. Participants will be asked to contribute individual perspectives independent of institutional affiliation, and the findings will not be used for publication.
As this research seeks perspectives from those who participate in interpretive and educational decisions, I hope to gain input across Leadership, Collections, and Education teams. Please consider forwarding this to colleagues who might be interested.
If you are interested in participating or have questions, please email me at a.clark.18@ucl.ac.uk
An information sheet with more details is attached.
Thanks!
Allison
