Abby Klug

Originally from northeastern Iowa, Abby received her MA in Museum Studies from Western Illinois University, Quad Cities and her BA in English and History from Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. She has worked in various roles in the museum field before joining the program, including those in collections, curation, education, administration, and exhibit. Her current research interests (very) broadly include feminist theory, mythological figures, monstrosity and “otherness,” historiography, and narratives within museums. In her downtime, Abby can be found attempting to paint or be active, but is probably just snuggling her kitten, Pearl.
