Hannah brings over 10 years of experience in inclusive qualitative research and museum education to her position as Researcher at Kera Collective.
Hannah loves drawing from her background as a museum educator. Her dissertation research on Whiteness and how it impacts gallery teaching practices has lent her a sensitivity to ideas around power and control in researcher/participant relationships. This continues in her work at Kera Collective in how she strives to meet our partners where they are and ensure a collaborative approach at every step.
Hannah was formerly Co-Editor-in-Chief of Viewfinder, a digital journal focused on the intersection of social justice and art museum education. She has published her research in several journals and has presented alongside her dissertation participants at various art education conferences.
When she’s not working, you can find Hannah throwing at her ceramics wheel (but never for keeps–glazing is way too stressful!), cooking new things, and exploring her new city, Philadelphia.
Hannah’s favorite museum is the American Folk Art Museum. In addition to having lots of great teaching memories there, she loves how every exhibition showcases a new approach to understanding folk and self taught art—and in turn, what it means to be an artist.
