I really enjoyed attending the M+H Show last week and putting together the panel discussion for the Group for Education in Museums (GEM) on Inclusive Career Pathways in Museums and Heritage. Thanks to the amazing panel of speakers: Emma Middleton & Shereka Dunbar from the Foundling Museum, Ruth Garde and Kyle Jordan from Curating for Change/Visibility at Accentuate, and Louise McAward-White from Fair Museum Jobs; as well as Jane Sillis, Director at engage, who chaired the talk.

As a freelancer I enjoyed the networking as well as attending some of the other talks including Jaime Starr‘s talk on the People’s History Museum about “We Have Always Been Here” – Highlighting Marginalised Voices in Permanent Collections.
