REMINDER: Third International Conference - Museums and Human Rights

9-10 October 2012

International Slavery Museum, Liverpool, UK


Registration now open and draft programme announced!

It is five years since the opening of the International Slavery Museum
in Liverpool. 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 will 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.

We have some thought provoking papers and case studies lined up for this
year's conference from all over the world. Register Now! There is no fee
to attend the conference. Visit the FIHRM website to see the draft
programme and to register. http://www.fihrm.org/conference/index.html
