together new writing by academics and museum professionals on the subject
of museums. It aims to be both international in scope and at the cutting
edge of empirical and theoretical research on museums. museum and society
is edited by Gordon Fyfe (Keele University), Kevin Hetherington (Lancaster
University) and Susan Pearce (University of Leicester).

interest in all issues associated with museums and other places of public
culture concerned with collecting, exhibiting and display. The journal is a
successor to the series New Research in Museum Studies which was published
by Athlone Press from 1990 to 1997.
