Dr Georgina S. Walker is an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne. As an Early Career Researcher she has developed a significant academic profile in the emerging field of private museums and cultural philanthropy, with a doctoral dissertation published almost immediately as an academic book - The Private Collector’s Museum: Public Good Versus Private Gain (Routledge 2019). This monograph asserts her position as one of a handful of international scholars who has conducted targeted research that connects the rising popularity of private museums with new models of arts philanthropy and new inter-relationships between private and public space.
