Invitation and call for papers

Museums and Human Rights


8-10 October 2012

Call for Papers and Proposals

We would like to invite you to submit your expressions of interest to attend and/or speak at the conference. The theme of this year's conference is:

Museums and Human Rights

It is five years since the opening of the International Slavery Museum. In that time, the view has become more widespread that museums should play an active role in fighting for human rights, and there are now many museums around the world that are active in this field.

In this conference we want to consider the ways in which museums have - or have not - made progress.

We wish to look at recent and current examples of progressive work, in terms of combating gender and ethnic inequalities, discrimination and other human rights abuses.

Proposals

You can submit proposals for case studies, research papers, workshops and poster sessions under any of the above themes. Proposals should be about 300 words. In addition, you are asked to submit a short biography of about 200 words.

All papers must be in English.

The deadline is 30 June 2012.
