S07E01: Working From Home
Join us for a WFH special as we consider the joys and challenges of working remotely: with Kloe furloughed and Jenny working from home it’s a strange time to be a conservator. We also ask West Dean College and Cardiff University about switching to remote teaching and what this means for students. Finally, tune in for a Dear Jane about hobby conservation and some armchair travel as Jenny takes us to Herculaneum for a book review! 00:02:44 News in very, very brief 00:04:41 What’s our situation? 00:19:25 So what can conservators do from home? 00:25:16 WFH tips and Dress Up Fridays 00:37:48 What are the universities doing? 00:58:41 Review: ’Herculaneum and the House of the Bicentenary - History and Heritage' 01:03:15 Dear Jane Show Notes: - Van Gogh painting stolen from Dutch museum: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2020/mar/30/van-gogh-painting-stolen-from-dutch-museum - Furlough definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furlough - How to make the most of online meetings: https://icon.org.uk/news/icons-top-tips-for-remote-meetings - 15 Ideas for Conservators at Home: https://icon.org.uk/news/icon-trustee-pierrette-squires-acr-15-ideas-for-conservators-at-home - News in Conservation article on portfolios: https://www.iiconservation.org/content/news-conservation-issue-77-april-may-2020 - Museum & Heritage Workers (Instagram): https://www.instagram.com/IMWD2030 - Dr. Mariana Di Giacomo (Twitter): https://twitter.com/MarianaDGiacomo - Herculaneum and the House of the Bicentenary - History and Heritage: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Herculaneum-House-Bicentenary-Heritage-Conservation/dp/1606066285 Support us on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/thecword Hosted by Jenny Mathiasson and Kloe Rumsey.
