Today’s post will be a short one because I don’t have a lot of updates from last month. The main thing that happened is that I finished a preliminary draft of chapter 2 and sent it to my adviser right before I left for Scotland. About a week after I returned, we got together to… Continue reading Dissertation Work, May Update

Crystal Bridges Museum
Over the years, I’ve been working my way through a list of museums I’d like to visit. Some of these institutions, like the Louvre or the Met, are world-famous. Others, like the Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma City, or the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia (this latter one hasn’t happened yet but it will someday) are… Continue reading Crystal Bridges Museum
Brandon’s Scottish Adventures
Last week I wrote about my trip to St Andrews as part of my assistantship as the JDP Fellow, and the insights I got from being able to visit the campus and meet with Careers Centre staff. I also shared how much I enjoyed exploring the city and visiting a new place. I didn’t undertake… Continue reading Brandon’s Scottish Adventures
JDP Update, Part III: Visiting St Andrews
As I hinted at in my last JDP update, part of my assistantship includes visiting the campus at St Andrews. From April 23-29, that tentative visit became a reality as I spent three full days in St Andrews, as well as time in Edinburgh. Now that I’ve returned from that trip, I’ll tell you about… Continue reading JDP Update, Part III: Visiting St Andrews
Museum Work, April Update
I haven’t said much about my museum work since Motion/Emotion opened in February. Mainly that’s because I took a break to refocus on my dissertation research and finish the JDP workshops I’d been developing. Nevertheless, I’m still involved with the Barry Art Museum, so today we’ll take a look at what I’ll be doing. Right… Continue reading Museum Work, April Update
Dissertation Work, April Update
The last time I posted about the dissertation I had just come back from a research trip to New York. Right now, I’m in the midst of writing a very preliminary draft of Chapter Two. Let’s take a look at what I’ve been thinking about. Beyond recounting the historical narrative of the Neighborhood Circulating Exhibition… Continue reading Dissertation Work, April Update
JDP Update, Part II: Alumni Outreach
In my last update as the JDP Fellow, I talked about the new workshops I had developed in consultation with both current students and Programme alumni. As good as it feels to have created new career-related content for the JDP experience, however, these workshops only represent one part of a larger, ongoing project: developing alumni… Continue reading JDP Update, Part II: Alumni Outreach
JDP Update, Part I: Three New Workshops
Although I haven’t posted about it recently, my assistantship at the Career Center (now known as the Office of Career Development and Professional Engagement) has been keeping me quite busy. After spending last semester getting acquainted with the JDP experience, I’ve been spending this semester making my own contributions in two different ways: creating new… Continue reading JDP Update, Part I: Three New Workshops
My blogging practice
I have been maintaining a blog in one form or another since October 2012. As such, blogging has been an important part of my personal creative practice for almost a decade, but I’ve never really talked about how I create a post. Today then, I’ll talk about how I blog and how it feeds other… Continue reading My blogging practice
Dissertation Work, March Update
On Saturday night I returned to Williamsburg after spending a few intense research days at the Metropolitan Museum of Art reading about the Neighborhood Circulating Exhibitions. After months of delays and waiting due to the ongoing pandemic, I finally had an opportunity to resume my archival deep diving. Let’s take a look at this most… Continue reading Dissertation Work, March Update
