    Five Questions with a Museum Director (Part 2)

    Director of Newcastle Museum, Julie Baird, is asked five questions by Sancta's Academic Head for Arts & Social Sciences, Sarah O'Keefe. Julie Baird has over 30 years of professional experience in the museum sector. She began working in Canadian museums in the 1990s focusing on textile collections of medium to large regional museums. Ms Baird returned to Australia and joined the National Motor Museum in South Australia in 1998. Since 2002 she has been at Newcastle Museum and was part of the small team who moved and redeveloped the museum which re-opened in its new site in 2011. She is now the Director of Newcastle Museum. The intersection of innovation and accessibility has been a strong theme in Ms Baird’s major contributions to the museum sector. Ms Baird’s experience in researching and interpreting and working with community has also resulted in a number of successful and award-winning permanent exhibitions, including the redesign and redevelopment of the Newcastle Museum's social history galleries. Her career focus has been to spread knowledge about history and museums in unusual or popularised forums, working with communities as broad as embroidery guilds and TV audiences to female prisoners and bikie clubs. Julie sits on the Artform Assessment Board Museums and History for Create NSW, has been a standards assessor for Museums & Galleries NSW and is the current Vice President of the Australian Museums & Art Galleries Association. This episode was recorded on the land of the Gadigal, Awabakal and Worimi peoples and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. We acknowledge the Country you are joining us from and pay our respects to any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander People who are listening.

    Five Questions with a Chemical Engineer

    Chemical Engineer, Kevin Bourke, is asked five questions by Sancta's Academic Head for Engineering, Naomi Li. Kevin Bourke is a Chemical Engineer who is currently working on the design and construction of the Port Kembla Gas Terminal as their Instrument, Control and Electrical (ICE) Engineer. Kevin was initially lucky enough to be awarded a cadetship in chemical engineering by CSR Ltd when he left school. With CSR, he worked in the sugar industry while completing his undergraduate degree. Upon graduation, he joined Caltex at their Kurnell Oil Refinery in Sydney where he soon began to specialise in automation and process control. In the 1990s, he worked at the ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries) at Botany Industrial Park in petrochemicals (this site is now run by Qenos), before returning to Caltex as their Process Control Superintendent in 1999. When the refinery closed in 2014, Kevin became the Automation Team Lead for Chevron’s Gorgon LNG plant in Western Australia where his team commissioned Australia’s largest LNG plant including the world’s largest carbon sequestration facility. This episode was recorded on the land of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation, and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. We acknowledge the Country you are joining us from and pay our respects to any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander People who are listening.
