Hi there! I'm new on the museum list, so I thought it would be nice if I let you know something about me, and what my interests are. I'm a Graduate student at the University of ALberta, working on my MA in Human Ecology (formerly Home Economics, department of CLothing and Textiles). My area of interest is in museum studies, particularly community-based research for smaller museums (or big ones, for that matter). I'm also interested in conservation and exhibit design. My undergrad degree is in Canadian History and English literature. I hope one day to become gainfully employed (in a museum...I hope...) - any hints on how I can go about doing that????? I like to hear all of the things going on in museums while I'm locked away in the world of theory. Terri Thomson e-mail: [log in to unmask]
