Dr Elizabeth Carnegie

Elizabeth Carnegie joined the Management School in 2005 with particular responsibilities for arts and heritage management and is now programme director for the MSc Creative and Cultural Industries. She has considerable experience of the museums and galleries sector having worked as a curator of history with Glasgow Museums and participated in a number of high profile and award winning projects including setting up the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art (1993) and redisplaying the People's Palace in 1998. She was on the Interpretation Panel of the Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art (1993) and subsequently became deputy director of North East Lincolnshire Museums Service prior to entering academia. She previously worked as a lecturer at Edinburgh Napier University. Other teaching experience includes cultural studies courses for the University of the Highlands and Islands and on MBA/MSC programmes in Hong Kong. Elizabeth has taught a wide range of arts heritage and culture management subjects, and has teaching experience at all levels.

Elizabeth holds an MA (hons) Scottish Ethnology, University of Edinburgh, an MA Museum Studies, University of Leicester, and a PhD in representation of people and cultures from the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures, University of Edinburgh.

Elizabeth is a member of editorial Boards: International Journal of Heritage and Sustainable Development; Arts Marketing

Research Interests

Elizabeth’s work interrogates the role of museums and World Heritage Sites in representing and reflecting cultures and communities. Key projects consider representations of the Near East within nationally funded galleries and museums with Dr. Derek Bryce, University of Strathclyde, and a study of Durham World Heritage Site with Dr Simon Woodward, Centre for Sustainable Tourism, Leeds Metropolitan University. She is additionally involved in a project at WHS Goreme, Cappadocia with Associate Professor Hazel Tucker, University of Otago, New Zealand. She retains an interest in audience/visitor studies.
