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.
