Dr Samuel Goldstone-Brady

Thanks Peter!! Hope you’re well!

And I very much hope to stay in touch with my Paralympic and Sport networks - if anyone knows any Jewish Mancunian Paralympians I can force into the museum’s displays hit me up 😂

I’ll continue to operate in the disability history/heritage space through the UK Disability History and Heritage Hub and other related academic/heritage groups so do look out for cool things (hopefully) in the pipeline… 👀

Of course, I am gutted to be leaving the @paraheritage.bsky.social, who not only saw me through my PhD but fully supported my development in the sector, all whilst truly fighting for better inclusion and representation. I will miss this dynamic and passionate team!!

I’m so excited to finally say I’ll soon be joining Manchester Jewish Museum as their Curator (not that I’ve been keeping it secret well!)!! This is a dream role, sparked after using the museum’s collection for research years ago. I hope to serve Manchester’s rich and diverse Jewish history well!

We teamed up with Mitsubishi Corporation London Branch, Paralympians and consultants, to co-create sensory descriptions for items in the Japan Gallery of our Global Virtual Museum, helping blind and partially sighted visitors to experience each object. 💫
