Alex Burchmore is a Lecturer in Art History and Curatorial Studies at the Centre for Art History and Art Theory, School of Art and Design, Australian National University, Australia.
His research focuses on the intersection of people and things across transcultural and transhistorical contexts. His work spans:
- Material culture and object biographies
- Cultural identity and selfhood
- Art history with emphasis on Chinese porcelain and global art
- Curatorial practices and museum studies
Dr. Burchmore's scholarly contributions examine how objects play a central role in the construction, creation, and performance of identity throughout history. His interdisciplinary approach draws from posthumanism, environmental humanities, and studies of race and gender.
His editorial work on 'Material Selves' brings together established and emerging scholars to investigate the relationship between people and things across diverse cultural and chronological settings.
Dr. Burchmore has received recognition for his work from prominent scholars in the field:
- 'This rich and vibrant cornucopia of bottom-up, object driven studies brings fresh perspectives to the study of human-thing relations.' - Ian Hodder, Dunlevie Family Professor Emeritus, Stanford University
- 'This wide-ranging series of essays... shifts scholarly attention from object-centred exposition to the discursive narrative around objects in the construction of subjecthood.' - Edward S. Cooke, Jr., Charles F. Montgomery Professor of the History of Art, Yale University
