PI Contribution I am an active member of the British Art Network subject specialist sub-group, British Women Artists, 1750-1950, sharing and contributing my specialist knowledge on the subject of women artists in the Edwardian period. The Subgroup has worked with universities and cultural institutions supported by Paul Mellon Centre funding. This has personally involved me delivering a paper on creative collaborations between women at the University of Glasgow in 2017, contributing interpretation to an exhibition on female art students of the Slade organised at UCL in 2018, and organising and delivering a symposium entitled Making Women's Art Visible at Tate.
