MA HISTORY OF ART AND ARCHITECTURE, SOAS, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

As a museum educator, my role entails delving into the archives to find stories of people hidden on the outskirts of history and then bringing them into the centre of museum educational spaces. So, in short, I’m a storyteller!

Using the museum's collections and objects, I strive towards creating more inclusive heritage spaces that are reflective of the multicultural society we live in today.

This MA has come at the right time in my career. It's an opportunity to forge links between academic research and the day-to-day challenges I face as a museum educator. It’s also a unique interdisciplinary course that involves working closely with curators, artists and practitioners whilst exploring the history of art and material culture.
