With our Conservation Conversations series the Emerging Professional Group aims to showcase and celebrate the diversity of career paths possible in conservation!
Each event will spotlight conservators from different material disciplines. We are pleased to invite you to the premiere of this series, where we will hear from textile conservators and education specialists Joanne and Leah.
Event Overview
Joanne’s talk will provide a concise overview of her career, highlighting both achievements and challenges, and reflecting on how the appearance of a well-planned career trajectory can be an illusion. Leah will discuss how a chance opportunity to work on a tapestry conservation project during her MA, combined with a range of transferable skills from her experience outside conservation, became a defining moment in her career almost by accident.
They will also be answering your career questions, so keep an eye on our socials to submit your questions for Joanne and Leah ahead of the event!
