Tiffany Jenkins is a British sociologist, cultural commentator and writer, and is culture editor for the journal Sociology Compass. She is the author of Contesting Human Remains in Museum Collections (2011), which looks at the influences at play on the controversy over human remains in museum collections; and of Keeping Their Marbles (2016), which examines the controversies surrounding the Parthenon Marbles, and the wider debate on the repatriation of cultural heritage. However, Jenkins' arguments have been described by experts in the field as "clumsy and shallow, and on occasion misleading" in addition to contributing to "the normalization of extremist discourse" in museology. In spite of this, Jenkins has continued to argue that western museums should not return said treasures.She is editor of a multi-authored book of essays, Political Culture, Soft Interventions and Nation Building (2015), which examines the act of cultural intervention in countries that have been devastated by conflict.She is a regular contributor to the broadsheet press on the arts and cultural issues, including a column for The Scotsman newspaper.Jenkins is an Honorary Fellow in Department of Art History at the University of Edinburgh.
