About the lecture series: "Global Art History 4: Curating in the Post-Global"
Abstract
Museums are fundamentally anxious spaces, dependent upon and productive of temporal experiences in order to function and make meaning. In this lecture, we will firstly argue for the museum as an anxious institution, and the position of it as such in the global/post-global now. We will then posit temporality as one of the components of this anxious institution, and in particular argue for the importance of a radical approach to temporality. This radical temporality, which is self-aware, anxious, haunted and political, situates itself in the present, consciously, actively and ethically, and is thus a tool with which museums and associated institutions need to recognise if they are to reach their potential for transparency and engagement.

Jennifer Walklate introducing herself
I am a museologist, historian and literary theorist, studying the intersections between museums and other cultural media, including literature, drama and comics. I utilize novelistic and poetic forms and concepts to open up new ways of considering visitor experience in museum contexts, and literature as an analytical framework for understanding the construction and performance of museums. Drawing upon this study, I am looking at new ways to create more representative, inclusive, egalitarian, and intellectually open institutions. I completed a PhD at the School of Museum Studies, Leicester, in 2013, and an MA in 2009. I have worked as a Collections Assessor, Research Assistant, Editor, and Docent, and have volunteered with the Galleries of Justice Museum, the Ashmolean Museum, and the Royal Shakespeare Company Collections. I am a member of the Museum Ethnographers Group (MEG), the International Committee for Museums and Collections of Ethnography (ICME), and work as editor for Museum & Society, and the Best in Heritage Projects of Influence Award.
