Abstract
The New futures of care: Investigating emotionally laden work in museums project was a 12-month research collaboration that took place between February 2024 and February 2025, funded by a Royal Society of Edinburgh workshop grant, the Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV and King¡¯s College London. The project explored how museum workers in the UK articulate, experience and utilise emotions in their professional lives. This is a topic that has received little focused attention, yet it is of growing scholarly and sector concern as museums increasingly operate in contexts of urgent change (e.g. presented by anti-racist, decolonial practice and climate justice).
