Biography
Erica Elizabeth Macdonald Robenalt (she/her) is a recent graduate from Newcastle University and an independent researcher. Her research focuses on intersections between queer theory and museology to better understand the ‘queer museum’. Looking at museum exhibitions and programming, community relationships and institutional identity through the lens of queer utopia and futurity, her work critically engages with inclusivity and social justice oriented museal discourses.
