What is your education and/or training?

PhD student in art history and museology based at the University of Montreal under the supervision of Johanne Lamoureux. MA Muséologie, Université de Montréal, 2019; BA History and Theory of Art, Min. Classical Studies, University of Ottawa, 2015. I work with the Canada Research Chair (Tier 1) in Muséologie Citoyenne and the SSHRC funded Partnership CIÉ/CO "Nouveaux usages des collections muséales" as a research assistant and coordinator.

Currently studying the performative nature of curatorial work in the conservation of installation art in Canadian museum collections. Employing performance studies and post structuralist theory, I am examining in the relationship between written documentation and material re-iteration.
