The Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, is pleased to offer the following on-campus six-day immersion course for professionals involved with museums, historic sites, science centres, art galleries, and related organizations.
HA488J Curatorship
As museums seek to engage with the diverse communities they serve and the cultures they study, curators are taking more inclusive approaches to their work. In this course you examine the core curatorial concepts of collections planning, research, analysis, documentation, management and exhibition development, and relate them to the evolving roles of museums in society. At the same time, you explore the ways in which emerging competencies blend with traditional curatorial skills and knowledge to build sustained and meaningful relationships with community partners. Regardless of the kinds of collections or heritage resources you work with, participation in this course strengthens your capacity to:
* explore diversity within the curatorial profession
* debate the evolving roles of curators
* understand the theoretical underpinnings of curatorial practice
* recognize the broad range of knowledge and skills that are integral to curatorial work
* compare public and private collecting practices, their convergence, and their implications for museums
* appreciate the legal, ethical, policy, and intellectual frameworks for curatorial practice
* recognize partners in the curatorial process
* identify and select appropriate research methods
* develop a range of research, documentation, and analysis skills
* appreciate the range of ways in which knowledge is shared through exhibitions, programs, publications
* define measures of curatorial success
* discuss emerging opportunities and issues that challenge contemporary curators
