Dr
Richard Milne
I currently conduct freelance exhibitions research in the museums sector,
working with the
Curatorium museums
consultancy to deliver curatorial services. My most recent project was as co-curator of the
'Plant Seekers' exhibition at the Garden Museum, London
in collaboration with the
Royal
Horticultural Society.
My expertise is in the sociology and geography of food, medicine and
technology.
Until October 2012 I was a Research Associate on the
ERC-funded CONANX project
in the Department of Geography at the University of Sheffield. My research
used debates around expiry date labelling to highlight the changing roles,
responsibilities and knowledges involved in the governance of food quality,
safety and waste. Much of this research has been published and can be
accessed through the 'Publications' page.
My PhD research was conducted in the departments of
Science and Technology Studies and Geography at University College London. It focussed on the geographies and futures of science, bringing together work in the sociology of expectations with the geographies of food and technoscience. My thesis is available to read and download
here.
