Biography

Grayson Connor McKinnerney is a second-year Museology Master of Arts student. As a huge collections info nerd, his focus is on holistic and cross-departmental approaches to collections. While he is happy with any museum database, his favorite subject groups are art, cultural, media, and living collections. He hopes to bridge his research in museums with his queer/trans studies background through his thesis, “Inclusion of Trans Museum Staff and Volunteers.” He is also the current Museology Union for Student Events and Resources (MUSER) secretary and therefore the proud editor of their bi-weekly MuseLetter.
