About this listen

In this chapter we talk with Hannah Cornish, curator at the Grant Museum of Zoology, UCL with Thomas Kador, Lecturer in Creative Health on the UCL Arts & Sciences programme. Hannah provides intellectual access to a collection of 68,000 specimens. She designs and facilitates museum teaching, collaborating with researchers and artists, managing collection documentation, and working on events, exhibitions, and projects. Thomas has a background in archaeology and chemical engineering. His research and teaching interests include object-based learning, culture, health and wellbeing, public and community-based approaches to heritage and everyday practices. Together we discuss body stones as liminal objects, their preservation, collection, and biographies. We explore the many layers of meaning that can be read and see what we can add to their story.
