She has published widely on themes including collection history, heritage and Cold War diplomacy, UNESCO intangible heritage and post-socialist craft as well as UNESCO Learning Cities and 'actually existing' learning cities. Her publications include the International Journal of Heritage Studies, Museum Anthropology, Oxford Review of Education, and she is currently completing a manuscript on “Weaving Europe, crafting the museum” with Bloomsbury Academic.
