Galleries Disability Association. In early 2007 her job was retitled Access and Public Relations Manager. Cathy Wright continued to manage the construction of the new extension, the refurbishment of the ICL (Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory) space as a repository for the Museum’s music and stone tool collections, the refurbishment of other ICL space for joint use with the OUMNH, and the preparation of plans for the HLF-funded remodelling of the Museum’s entrance. In addition, she continued to manage the administration of the Museum, including its finances, health and safety compliance, and personnel processes. As part of that management, she attended a number of divisional and university-wide meetings as a representative of the Museum. She also undertook additional training on new aspects of the University’s finance system. As part of her management of the Museum’s trading activities, she introduced a new policy covering the sale and reproduction of images to be implemented in the new financial year. In collaboration with Kate White she began work on the Museum’s new ‘way-finding’ project to provide improved signage and orientation for visitors to the Museum. She assisted teaching and research staff in the preparation of grant applications to research councils and the Director and other staff with grant applications to DCMS/Wolfson and HLF. With the assistance of other Museum staff, and in collaboration with the Oxfordshire Education Business Partnership scheme, she organized work-experience placements for students from local Oxford schools and colleges. She produced and maintained the Museum’s risk register and, as required by legislation, a number of health and safety risk assessments, including a detailed fire risk assessment for the ‘In a Different Light’ event. She continued to be an Associate Member of the Association for Project Managers. Chris Wingfield returned to the staff of the Museum in September 2006, joining the ESRCfunded project ‘The Other Within: An Anthropology of Englishness’ as a project researcher. His research has focused on the early publications of the Folk-Lore Society as well as the Museum’s collections from Somerset and their connections with E. B. Tylor. He assisted in the teaching of an optional paper for undergraduates and postgraduates on ‘Material Culture and the Anthropology of Things’, run by Chris Gosden in Hilary Term. During the year he presented a number of papers: at the conference of the European Association of Social Anthropologists in Bristol, at the ‘Beyond Text’ conference in Manchester, at two meetings of the Oxford University Museums Collections History Group, as well as (jointly with Alison Petch) at the Museum’s Friday lunchtime seminar series. He was also selected for the ‘NaMu’ workshop on National Museum Narratives at the University of Leicester (funded by a European Union ‘Marie Curie’ grant), where he presented a poster relating to his research. He also continued to serve as treasurer of the Museum Ethnographers Group and attended its annual conference at the National Maritime Museum, as well as guest editing the conference section of the 2007 issue of the group’s annual Journal of Museum Ethnography.
