Dr Fiona Fisher

About

I am curator of Kingston University's Dorich House Museum and a researcher in Design History, supporting the Modern Interiors Research Centre, whose annual conference I have co-convened since 2008. I am also a co-editor of the centre's most recent anthologies: The Routledge Companion to Design Studies, Routledge, 2017; British Design: Tradition And Modernity After 1948, Bloomsbury, 2016; and Performance, Fashion And The Modern Interior: From The Victorians To Today, Berg, 2011.

I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Art, Architecture and Design History and, in 2008, was awarded a PhD for my research into the design of London's late nineteenth century public houses. My research projects include an area study of Bristol's public houses for Historic England, The Nineteenth and Twentieth-Century Public House in Bristol (2015). 

I am managing editor of the Journal of Design History and co-editor of Dora: Dialogues on Women's Creative Practice and Thinking.
