Jennifer Carter is Director of the graduate museology program at the Université du Québec à Montréal, where she is also professor of New museologies, intangible heritage and cultural objects in the Department of Art History. Museologist and art historian, she has held positions in diverse Canadian cultural institutions, including the Canadian Centre for Architecture (Montréal) and the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto). Jennifer’s praxis consists of teaching and research in the areas of museology, representation, expology and architecture. She considers how these practices mediate, and are mediated by, the cultural institutions that frame them. A more recent SSHRC- and FRQSC-funded research project takes up the emergent phenomenon of human rights museology, and considers how social justice and human rights are negotiated curatorially, pedagogically, and semantically in cultural institutions dedicated to human rights in Asia, North America and South America. Jennifer has authored and co-authored essays in English and French in international and peer-reviewed journals such as Information Research (2013); Musées (May 2013); Museum Management and Curatorship (2013; with J. Orange, May 2012); MediaTropes (2012); Curator (with J. Orange, 2012); and in book chapters in The Idea of a Human Rights Museum (forthcoming); 14 Arguments in favour of human rights institutions (with J. Orange, 2014); National Museums: New studies from around the world (Routledge, 2011) and Chora Five: Intervals in the philosophy of architecture (2007). In 2013, Jennifer was appointed Associate Editor of the international journal Museum Management and Curatorship, published by Taylor and Francis / Routledge in the U.K.
