Handling History with Sarah Dhanjal - Part 3
16 July 2020
UCL Institute of Archaeology alumna Sarah Dhanjal has written a series of blogs for the UCL Public Engagement Unit about museum work that happens outside the public eye.
Sarah Dhanjal was an undergraduate and graduate student at the UCL Institute of Archaeology, moving into a career working in engagement with many of London’s museums and collections.
In this series for the UCL Public Engagement Unit, Sarah highlights her experiences using different collections with primary school children. In her third blog post, she talks about working with objects from Ancient Greece, taking a close look at one of them, as well as what it’s like being the special visitor at school.
As Sarah indicates:
“I love all the objects I get to use as they all tell different stories. It’s not uncommon for pupils to tell me they want to be an archaeologist, because of this sense of unsolved mystery. It’s what inspired me too. I always discuss what archaeologists think, but the classroom conversation that has come before is always more exciting and rich.
