She is currently researching for a PhD in Museum Studies at the University of Leicester and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. Here, she uses participatory practice and action research to investigate how museums can centre young people and work together to create meaningful cultural experiences. This research demonstrates the profound value of care, attention and risk-taking in heritage collaborations, learnings that Molly is keen to take forward in her career.
Molly also works as a gallery educator at Kettle’s Yard where she leads inclusive and creative sessions for schools and community groups. She has previously worked in learning and engagement at Glyndebourne and as a freelance researcher, evaluator, and practitioner. Molly first became interested in this work while studying Classics and English at university; she remains excited by heritage as the places and ways in which we tell stories together.
