About me
a bit about me….
I’m a museums Geek, and proud of it. I’m excitable about almost everything especially tea and cake.
I am a Geordie girl, born and raised in the North East and I love the Romans, especially their spoons. Traditionally I’m an archaeologist, but gave up on the mud and concentrated on museum interpretation and learning. I love museums and what people think of them.
Now i’m geeking out on social media and digital cultural content and how people use it and what kind of experiences can be gained from it. So this blog is basically me being me, a nerdosaurus writing random thoughts about museums, social media, learning experiences and bit of other stuff thrown in for good measure.
I am also undertaking doctoral research at the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities and my particular research interest is in user experience in digital cultural contexts. oh and, I’m a HASTAC Scholar, Chair of the committee of the Digital Learning Network For Museums, Libraries and Archives as well as on the committee for Ignite London and InterFace 2o11.
I found you on LinkedIn and noticed you are interested in museums and social media, a fellow Museums and the Web attendee, and based at UCL (where I was a visiting academic in 2007). Do you know Suzanne Keene at UCL? We co-chair the annual EVA London conference in July together, which may be of interest. See http://www.eva-conferences.com/eva_london . The deadline for abstracts is 15 January 2010 if interested! Something on museums and social media would be very relevant.
Hi. I’m a Grounded Theory Groupie and picked up your post from a blog alert. I really enjoyed it – thank you
