ICTOP, the
ICOM International Committee for the Training of Personnel, invites papers for
the ICTOP annual conference to be held in Amsterdam
Sept. 13-15 2012. Our meeting this year will be hosted by the ReinwardtAcademy
for Cultural Heritage, Amsterdam,
School of the Arts. This international meeting will focus on the theme
of “Bridges and Boundaries: Reframing Professional Education for Museums +
Heritage?” We invite proposals for paper presentations of 15 minutes,
multi-paper panels, virtual papers by video or other modes of communication,
which analyse current and emerging issues in the field of museum professional
development.
Presentations should examine how professional development education is or is
not shifting from a variety of global perspectives and the implications for the
conceptualization of our museums/heritage sector and professional preparation.
As an interdisciplinary field, museology/museum studies crosses traditional
boundaries between academic disciplines or schools of thought, especially as
new needs, emphases and professions emerge. This leaves the boundaries of our
profession, its study and delivery unclear at best. But then where and when do
we identify new fields for naming our offerings? In some parts of the world,
for example, museum studies/museology programs have been extended to include
heritage studies in their title or content. The broader term ‘heritage’ may
seem like a solution to our vague definitions of the ‘museum’ but does the term
─ and its field ‘heritage studies’ ─ bring more problems than it solves?
Presenters may address how prevalent (or not) this trend is across continents
or speak to specific case studies as we reflect on the general implications for
the field, other programs and the development of curriculum/a?
§ Is there a genuine shift in concepts and the
profession or a pragmatic move that responds to governmental policy and job
opportunities?
§ What are the challenges for museology
programmes, or other developers, in adopting wider definitions such as that of
heritage?
§ Are there other tendencies in our pedagogy
representing either the voices of traditional or new disciplines ─ such as
cultural studies, management, curatorial studies, gallery studies, informatics
─ or emerging topics or issues ─ such as development, sustainability,
inclusion, career planning and employability ─ that are compelling changes?
§ Where is the profession in this discussion?
§ What guidelines or competencies might be needed
in this complex situation?
Submissions can be:
· Paper presentations (long and short form)
· Posters
· Panels
· Videos or Alternative media, multimedia
· Workshops etc.
. etc.
