I have just started to work on a research project on visitors at the Natural History Museum in Venice.
My goal is to use a range of qualitative tools along with the traditional questionnaire in order to analyse visitors’ path, visitors’ interaction with the exhibits and their talks about science and technology as mediated by the museum environment.
Interaction, multi-modal analysis, bodily engagement and embodied cognition are the keywords.
The project is led by Ca’ Foscari University, Philosophy and Cultural Heritage Department where I am post-doc research fellow (http://www.unive.it/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=415&persona=6638402&vista=curr).
