Dr. Joelle Wickens (she/her) is assistant professor of Preventive Conservation, in the Department of Art Conservation, at the University of Delaware. Her current work in preventive conservation is dedicated to evolving the practice of the specialty to place social, economic, and environmental sustainability at its core. This work intertwines with her work using the lenses of systems thinking, disability justice, universal design, and systemic racism to work with the field of art conservation to broaden its understanding of what cultural heritage is, diversify who conserves this heritage, and bring multiple and non-dominant ways of knowing and doing to the conservation process.
