About me
Elizabeth Grant, PhD, has 20 years experience in history, art, and design education. Her professional history combines collections-based learning with community engagement practices, and she is particularly passionate about fostering co-creation and participatory learning experiences. Currently, she is the Chief Program Officer for the National Liberty Museum (NLM) in Philadelphia, where she has strategic and operational oversight of exhibitions, education, and public programs, producing 3-4 exhibitions and accompanying programs per year. In 2022-23, she directed a stakeholder-led interpretive planning process that resulted in a new vision for the museum centered on community engagement and co-creation. She has led collections-based programming for museums and archives in the US and UK, including the New York Historical Society (2005-2010), the Royal Institute of British Architects (2010-2018) and the Museum of the American Revolution (2018-2020). She has a PhD in American Studies from the University of Birmingham, UK, and has published on the intersection of race, place, and memory in post-industrial.
