Claire Bailey-Ross
I am a digital heritage researcher at the University of Portsmouth.
I am passionate about museums, digital experiences and audience engagement, having built a successful career developing strategic partnerships within Academia and with external cultural institutions over the last fifteen years. My research takes place within the context of Digital Humanities (DH) and my work is highly interdisciplinary, ranging from the user experience of digital heritage resources to broader debates surrounding the social aspects of digital innovation and technological change in cultural heritage environments.
My main research focuses on digital innovation and impact of engagement and user experience in a museum context. My current research interests include the nature of participation and engagement possibilities provided by digital technology, digital heritage, museum innovation, creativity and creative practice, and knowledge exchange between academic and cultural heritage institutions.
