Biography

Kirsty Warner is an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Warwick, affiliated with the Living Neighbours UK Changing Europe project. Her research focuses on the intersection of European Union-United Kingdom relations, cultural policy, and museum practices. She explores how political shifts, such as changes in funding due to Brexit, impact cultural institutions, particularly national museums in the UK. Kirsty’s PhD research, which was funded by the London Arts Humanities Partnership, examined the evolving UK-EU relationship and its influence on UK national museums from 1991 to 2021, shedding light on how European integration has shaped cultural governance in the UK. In addition to her academic work, Kirsty has extensive experience in policy research and advisory roles, contributing to high-profile discussions regarding UK-EU legislative matters in cultural policy. She has worked with the Policy Institute at King’s College London, supporting policy analysis for the House of Lords and producing briefings on topics such as trade and cultural cooperation agreements. Kirsty’s international work includes a role in the UKRI-JSPS-funded project 'Sustainable Cultural Futures', a UK-Japan collaboration that explored policy responses for the cultural sector in the aftermath of COVID-19.
