Excited to be able to share all the work Parkes does and the interesting stuff we get up to in the MA!

Had fascinating day at the Imperial War Museums learning about the Holocaust galleries and the curation behind them. Thank you to the Parkes Institute, Claire Le Foll, Tony Kushner and James Bulgin for organising such a brilliant and informative trip.

I’m very grateful to have been awarded the Moss prize tonight by the Parkes Institute for my essay on gender in the Holocaust.

Last month, our MA Holocaust students visited the Holocaust Galleries at the Imperial War Museums, where they received a tour from curator James Bulgin & a talk on curatorial decision-making before having an opportunity to apply these skills writing captions for exhibits.

Watch as I take over the Parkes social media for the next few days!
