This PhD will investigate methods of conservation education to encourage the use of green methods for the cleaning of painted surfaces, with the aim of facilitating the wider adoption of greener practices in training programmes and for continuing professional development of practising conservators. Green cleaning may encompass historical methods using natural and unrefined materials, or modern methods to reduce or replace petrochemical solvents using innovative application methods or bio-derived alternatives. The PhD will explore the practical use of these methods, the assessment of their efficacy using a range of analytical methods, and then will develop training modules and course materials. Innovative pedagogical and change management techniques will be investigated to ensure successful adoption in the conservation profession.
