Dr Susannah Eckersley is a lecturer in Museum, Gallery & Heritage Studies at Newcastle University, UK, with research interests in dark heritage (in particular in relation to German history); memory and identity; the heritage of migration, diversity and representation; cultural policy; museum architecture and built heritage. One commonality between these diverse interests is that they all encompass the complex relationships between the past and the present, the public and the state. She was a researcher on the European Commission funded €2.8m FP7 project, MeLA: European Museums in an Age of Migrations from 2011-2014 working with Prof Chris Whitehead, Dr Rhiannon Mason and Dr Katherine Lloyd, and is the deputy project co-ordinator of, and co-investigator on, CoHERE: Critical Heritages – performing and representing identities in Europe, funded by the European Commission with €2.5m under Horizon 2020.
