*CAMOC Annual Conference - Call for Papers* (New Deadline 1 March 2014):

*INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE, SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, AND THE CITY MUSEUM*



CAMOC (the ICOM Committee for the Collections and Activities of Museums of
Cities) invites proposals for its 10th annual conference, in Göteborg,
Sweden, 6 - 8 August 2014.



In this year's conference, we ask:

How can city museums help people to understand, explain, and make use of
the ongoing transformation of urban society from its industrial base to a
future marked by limited resources and expanding technological
capabilities?



SESSION THEMES include:

   - The role of cultural heritage--tangible and intangible--in
   post-industrial urban development



   - New technologies for documenting and presenting industrial heritage



   - "Museums" across the city:  museum experiences beyond the museum walls



   - Interpreting the role of migration in industrial and post-industrial
   society



The CAMOC programme committee welcomes proposals from architects,
historians, museum professionals, planners, and other urbanists on these or
related themes. Presentations may take the form of:



15-20-minute talks

Round table discussions

"Ignite!" sessions (5-minute maximum)

poster or media presentations



Interested participants should send a proposal of up to 350 words,
accompanied by a 100-word biography, by 1 March 2014 to:
*[log in to unmask]
