Description

This research explores how people with dyslexia experience reading information in museums and galleries, such as exhibition labels, wall texts, and display panels.

I am interested in how this written information is experienced in practice, including what helps or makes reading more difficult in museum spaces.

Participants will be invited to take part in either a short interview or a small focus group discussion. These conversations will focus on personal experiences of reading museum texts and accessibility in cultural spaces.

Participation is voluntary, and all responses will be anonymised. Participants can choose whether to take part in a focus group or an interview, and can withdraw at any time without giving a reason.

No financial incentive is being offered. However, participants will be contributing to research that aims to improve understanding of accessibility in museums for people with dyslexia.

This research has been reviewed through the University of Glasgow’s ethics process.

All data collected will be anonymised and stored securely in accordance with university data protection policies. Participation is voluntary, and participants can withdraw at any point before data is anonymised (15 July 2026).

No personally identifiable information will be included in the final dissertation.
