Curator of Unfinished Conversations

This post is being offered on a full time and fixed-term basis to 30 April 2025.

The University would consider a secondment opportunity for this post. University of Glasgow applicants should seek clearance for release for secondment from their line manager before making a formal application.

You will deliver The Hunterian’s three-year programme, ‘Power in this Place: Unfinished Conversations’ funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. Building on our transformational 'Curating Discomfort' project, the Curator of Unfinished Conversations will work across our collections and organisation to embed anti-racist, participatory approaches in The Hunterian and the wider university communities with which we work

The post will seek to restore social capital appropriated through two centuries of collecting to communities, locally and internationally and will ensure that The Hunterian’s own processes undergo fundamental and permanent re-alignment around race and equality issues. Impacts will be delivered beyond The Hunterian, facilitating new critical strategic dialogues at senior levels across the University of Glasgow and in Scotland’s cultural sector and beyond.
