Conal McCarthy on the ‘museum without walls’

Associate Professor Conal McCarthy is director of the Museum & Heritage Studies programme. Rather than talk about the contents of the exhibition he will discuss the container itself, the museum and gallery, using the critical framework of history and theory. McCarthy's most recent books are Collecting ordering governing: Anthropology, museums and liberal government (2017), and Museum Practice (2015). His next book, co-edited with Mark Stocker, is a collection of essays in memory of prominent art historian Jonathan Mane-Wheoki.
