Rethinking Museums:
An Interdisciplinary Academic Conference
University of Washington Seattle Campus 
May 3-4, 2007
 
Museums are dynamic interdisciplinary places characterized by rapid growth and change in the modern world.   What are the issues involved in the explosive growth, increased professionalisation, and changing expectations of our cultural institutions?  To address these questions and more, the University of Washington Museology Graduate Program is pleased to announce Rethinking Museums: An Interdisciplinary Academic Conference.
 
Through workshops, panel discussions, and presentations this conference will focus on the changing and interdisciplinary nature of museums.   A venue for expanding professional development, Rethinking Museums will provide valuable opportunities for students and emerging professionals to listen to the latest student and professional papers and converse with their peers. Due to the diverse perspectives of the field of Museology and Museum Studies, this conference is open to all academic disciplines and cultural institutions. 
 
Conference registration is free.  To register, please visit http://www.RethinkingMuseums.org.    

The conference is supported by the Museology Graduate Program, the Learning for Leadership Council, the College of Arts & Sciences, and the Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington, Seattle.
