The mid-term evaluation is organized in two parts and starts with a 2-hour public seminar, followed by a closed meeting.
The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the progress of the PhD project at a point when it is still possible to make small or substantial changes. In general, we want to know how the candidate is doing, how much work is done, and what is left.
About the PhD candidate and her research
My project concerns human remains and idenitity creation in western museums. I have chosen a case study that focus on three egyptian mummies at three different european museums and their individual journies from their in situ context to present day within a museum collection. There are several themes explored within my project such as ethics, colonialism, exhibition practices, and museum narratives.
My supervisors are Professor Brita Brenna and Førstekonservator Anders Bettum, Oslo Museum
