Marnie has a long history of art and social justice practice in both Canada and Australia. Her interests include socially-engaged art, participatory advocacy research methodologies, and the politics of cultural measurement. Marnie has recently been appointed as the Vice Chancellor's Post Doctoral Research Fellow and Deputy Director of CAST Centre of Art, Society and Transformation at the School of Art, RMIT University. She is a Lecturer in the Master of Arts (Art in Public Space) at RMIT and previously convened the Master of Arts and Community Practice at the University of Melbourne. Marnie has received awards from the Melbourne Social Equity Institute (2015) and an Early Career Researcher Award (2016) for her work on ‘the social turn in artist residencies’. Her co-edited book, Making Culture Count: the politics of cultural measurement (2015, Palgrave Macmillan) extended her research on democratised forms of cultural planning and arts evaluation. She maintains an active art-research practice through participating in residencies, curating exhibitions, and collaborating on community-based projects.
