About me
Marina Gross-Hoy, PhD, is a consultant, writer, speaker, and scholar whose work invites people to cultivate new relationships with embodied experience. She is the founder of the Laboratoire d’attentions, a research-creation initiative focused on designing artistic interventions informed by embodied attention, slow looking practices, sensory interpretation, and trauma-informed approaches. She is an associate member of the Group for Research on Education and Museums at the Université du Québec à Montréal, and she served on the board of the Committee for Education and Cultural Action within the International Council of Museums (ICOM). Her work has received support from the Canada Council for the Arts, Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Institute for Studies in Canadian Art at Concordia University, and the Collegeville Institute. Her doctoral dissertation in Museum Studies at the Université du Québec à Montréal explored the impacts on museum professional ecosystems of cross-sectoral collaborations with technology companies when developing digital interpretation tools for visitors. She holds additional degrees in Muséologie (École du Louvre, MA) and History of Art (University of Michigan, BA).
