Dr Louise Purbrick
Brighton University
Museums and the expression of human rights: three case histories
Dalriada House, Jordanstown campus

Dr Louise Purbrick is Principal Lecturer in the History of Art and Design at the University of Brighton. Her most recent publication, an article in the journal Landscapes co-authored with John Schofield and entitled ‘Brixton: Landscape of a Riot’, explores both the obvious and obscured meanings of an urban site of conflict through photography, parliamentary inquiry and poetry. She has collaborated on a number of publications with both archaeologists and photographers as well as co-edited multi-disciplinary collections of writings, all of which attempt to understand the material remains of violent pasts. The role of museums in the interpretation of histories of conflict, and history more generally, is an important and long-standing aspect of Purbrick’s research and, since 2005, she has worked with Belfast-based cross-community project, Healing Through Remembering, on the establishment of a museum of the conflict ‘in and about’ Northern Ireland.
