Museum consultant Margaret Middleton visits the Wex for the annual lecture copresented with Ohio State’s Department of Arts Administration, Education, and Policy.
Middleton is an international museum consultant currently based in Belfast, Ireland. In their work, Middleton creates strategies of inclusion for communities who face inequity and exclusion in traditional museum spaces. These range from youth and families and members of LGBTIQ+ communities to museum workers. Their practices include exhibition design, audience engagement, and writing. Middleton draws from multiple critical theories to center the lived experiences of marginalized populations in their work.
