Historical Consulting

“It was a pleasure working with Glaire and I strongly recommend her to game designers who wish to develop projects related to her academic expertise...Glaire’s expertise was crucial in two ways. On one side, Glaire ensured that our output [Lion Rampant: A Viking in the Sun] was historically as authentic as possible. On the other ...Glaire was absolutely fantastic in the way she contributed to brainstorms, in the way she provided suggestions, and the way she pointed to useful scholarship." 

“Not only is Glaire a pleasure to sit down and talk with, she is a font of information about Islamic art and approaches her work with care. Glaire will give direct and honest feedback about various aspects of your project, along with actionable improvements (when requested and where needed). Glaire gave me insightful feedback on several public-facing texts for a forthcoming exhibition, helping me ensure that they were historically accurate and culturally sensitive. She also outlined resources I could consult for additional information. Since Islamic art is not my area of expertise, I was deeply grateful for her attention to detail and broad knowledge base.” (Heather Alexis Smith, Assistant Curator, Pulitzer Arts Foundation, St. Louis)

"I contacted Dr Anderson when developing a display about Islamic science for a major exhibition. Being new to the topic, I sought her guidance on what I had devised, whether my interpretations were sound, my object selections appropriate, and what I had overlooked. Dr Anderson provided expert and accessible feedback, which I appreciated due to my unfamiliarity with the subject. Her assistance helped me to identify a key pairing of objects, which I am now negotiating to borrow for the show."
