A reminder that interested museum professionals, researchers and students
interested in museum education are invited to submit a paper at the 1996

The theme for the 1996 Education and Museums Conference is _At the
Frontiers of Museum Education_. Proposals should address original,
significant research which will contribute to knowledge related to
educating publics in the museums and/or educational practice related to
museum settings. We are particularly interested in theme-related papers
and interactive sessions which will promote dialogue about museum
education research (e.g., panel discussions or town meetings on a
specific issue, interactive symposia examining specific problems or
topics, roundtable discussions about individual papers,
research-in-progress inviting responses to ongoing research).
