INTERCOM – FIHRM 2016: 
The ethical museum 

CALL FOR PAPERS
4-6 July 2016
Milan, Italy
Held during the ICOM 2016 General Conference on Museums and Cultural Landscapes

INTERCOM (ICOM Committee for Museum Management) and the Federation of International Human Rights Museums (FIHRM, ICOM Affiliated Organisation) are once again joining forces in 2016 to hold a meeting on current thinking in museum ethics under the overall ICOM conference theme of Museums and Cultural Landscapes. 
The INTERCOM and FIHRM session will consider the political, social and economic landscapes of museums and the ethical challenges that these might pose. We will look at current museum thinking in managing the external environment and consider international case studies concerned with ethical dilemmas such as sponsorship, illicit trafficking, migration, and human rights. 
What are the implications for managing museums successfully? What obligation does the museum have to its governing body? And to the public? How can a museum code of ethics support museums to resolve some of these conflicts? 
Call for Papers
Together INTERCOM and FIHRM  would like to invite you to submit a proposal to speak at the session. We wish to look at recent and current examples of progressive work in museums or related organizations. You can submit proposals for case studies, research papers, under any of the above themes. Proposals should be no more than 300 words. In addition, you are asked to submit a short biography of about 150-200 words. 
All papers must be in English.
Deadline: 29 April 2016
Please send your proposal by email to Berit Fruelund Kjærside, INTERCOM Secretary [log in to unmask] or Françoise McClafferty, FIHRM Coordinator, [log in to unmask]
