I've yet to visit the centre but the King in the Car Park story has gripped me, not only for the discovery of the R3's remains, but also the great skill and scientific expertise your University colleagues have employed, not least in the visualisation of Medieval Leicester, which I've always found confusing with the changes wrought over the centuries.

I wholeheartedly agree with everything that you say (you really do hit the nail on the head!) and I think it is really important that we acknowledge and discuss such matters. While I was initially just going for a simple 'here here!' comment, I decided that it would probably be more useful to expand on this with some of my own post-PhD experiences and concerns...<br /><br />Having recently (January) completed my PhD, I am left feeling like one arm has been cut off and the other is punching the air with joy! I know that it is still early days, but I also find myself in a strange 'no-man's land' - somewhere between the museum sector and the world of academia.<br /><br />I too am in my thirties (although mid rather than early) and embarked on a PhD having spent a good 7 years working in the museum sector. I undertook my PhD as a part-time self-funded student, and as much as this seemed like a sensible idea at the time (i.e.in 2007 which, for those who can remember, was an altogether more optimistic time!), with hindsight, I get the impression that maybe it wasn't! <br /><br />As far as the museum sector is concerned, I don't feel particularly confident about my future prospects since my most recent museum experience (i.e. over the last 6 years) consists of various part time positions, freelance work and involvement in short term projects. Now don't get me wrong, I appreciate that I am very lucky to have found work in the museum sector at all, but given the choice, I expect that an employer will chose someone with a recent track-record of full time work in the sector over someone like myself who may well have plenty of experience (covering curatorial, educational, research and exhibition-related work), but who, on paper, comes across as being rather erratic and lacking direction. <br /><br />Likewise, a career in the academic world seems equally unlikely: During my PhD, work commitments made it difficult (impossible?) to fully engage as a member of the 'academic community' (i.e. attending conferences, presenting papers, working as a graduate teaching assistant, and participating in departmental activities in general, all require time and money (or at least have financial implications), and as a part-time self funded student, paid work always had to come first), so compared to someone who has spent the last three years immersed in the academy, I don't fancy my chances of pursuing a career in academia. <br /><br />Having finished my PhD, I can talk about the experience rather fondly: I am in no doubt that I have gained a lot from it. I do, however, find myself wondering whether I am really any better off with this qualification. In the museum sector, while a subject-specific PhD may be viewed favourably (particularly for curatorial positions), the value of a PhD in museology is perhaps less clear - I know that this is rather a negative thing to say, but based on personal experience, I get the impression that a PhD in museology (particularly a part-time one) may hinder rather than help my quest for work. This is not going to stop me from searching for an opportunity to use both my academic and professional experience, but (again, this is purely based on my limited experience of searching and applying for jobs) I don't hold much hope of finding it in the UK right now.Hannah Chalknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33352276.post-33633489255897351442013-04-04T00:17:17.913+01:002013-04-04T00:17:17.913+01:00Well done Cintia and the rest of the team!!Well done Cintia and the rest of the team!!Dr Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03137076061031307574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33352276.post-50101942492139299412013-04-04T00:15:48.805+01:002013-04-04T00:15:48.805+01:00Gramophones in the galleries sounds like a wonderf...Gramophones in the galleries sounds like a wonderfully steampunk intervention I want desperately to be part of.Dr Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03137076061031307574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33352276.post-68996833732255586752013-04-04T00:13:48.604+01:002013-04-04T00:13:48.604+01:00I am deeply impressed by the use of footnote refer...I am deeply impressed by the use of footnote references in this write-up!<br /><br />While I applaud Dr Janes' optimism and inspirational call to arms, as a museum historian, I question the limits of the ability of the museum institution to move beyond its imperialist, colonialist project, as it still defines the centrality of museums in contemporary society. Serena and I have had amy discussions about this, and it still seems to me that much of the calls for social inclusion and social justice and the social economy in the museum sector smack of restitution and revisionism by people of white middle-class privilege (a class to which i myself belong and in which I am painfully immobilized).Dr Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03137076061031307574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33352276.post-87277661286884647232013-04-03T13:58:04.676+01:002013-04-03T13:58:04.676+01:00I thank you for your thoughtful blog entry on the ...I thank you for your thoughtful blog entry on the subject. Yesterday I, for the first time, went through the “Body Worlds- Vital” exhibit here in Louisville, Kentucky (my first trip, but the second for my wife and 8-year-old daughter.) I don’t doubt the educational value of the subject matter, and my daughter found it fascinating and was eager for me to see it. For that reason alone—the stimulation of scientific curiosity about the human body—I find the show worthwhile, but seeing it for myself did nothing to rid me of my qualms about it. Nor have reading news story and criticisms on-line. It is interesting and informative, yes, but I also find it tacky and somehow troubling. I pride myself in being a skeptic, in prizing rationalism above emotion, but I do acknowledge that emotion is an important part of being a human; and there is something about this, on an emotional level, hard for me to parse out in reasonable argument, that I find disconcerting.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04750280817897204293noreply@blogger.com
