In this talk, I will discuss how I gained experience in museums, and I will share a few tips for beginning museum work. In graduate school, there was an ever-present question in my mind: how might I combine my PhD experience with museum work? To begin to answer this question, I researched museum opportunities and applied for internships. I served as an intern for the Shumate Council, a leadership council for diversity and inclusion, at the Wexner Center for the Arts. Currently, I am a digital interpretation intern at the National Gallery of Art – I assist the Gallery’s interpretive resources department in implementing visitor-centric thinking and producing educational content. With these experiences, I have learned how to apply both my English and art background to museum projects. For this informal conversation, I hope to share how I was able to make this career transition and offer advice for entering into the museum world.
