This blog is for heritage interpreters and anyone working in the heritage or museums sector – as well as anyone who simply has an interest in interpretation and heritage. Thanks for stopping by!
I post once or twice a month about books and articles that I’ve read, sites I’ve visited, experiences from my own professional practice, and insights from my research. My hope is that my posts offer you a critical perspective and encourage discussion. Do let me know your thoughts by posting a comment (see comment policy below). I promise I will respond!

I am Head of Museums for the City of Oldenburg in Germany. Before taking on this role, I was a senior consultant in a heritage consultancy in the UK and I worked for several years at museums and heritage sites for local government in England (Audience Development Manager) and Wales (Manager), and for the National Trust for Scotland (Learning and Interpretation Manager). I’ve also worked as a frontline interpreter in the United States. I hold a PhD in Archaeology/Heritage Studies from University College London.
I used to be the Vice President for Policy of ICOMOS’ International Scientific Committee on Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Heritage Sites and Research Co-ordinator for Interpret Europe.
I am a member of Interpret Europe (Founding Member), the Association of Critical Heritage Studies, the Museum Association (UK), Deutscher Museumsbund, and ICOMOS.
