"Curatorial Partnerships with Community" offered through the Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria As museums seek to be more responsive to diverse communities, curators must redefine the ways in which they assemble and share collections, shape exhibitions, communicate information, and nurture partnerships with community. This new course examines the attitudes, knowledge, and skills that underlie this shift in curatorial role and practice, and develops your ability to: * appreciate the benefits of inclusive approaches to curatorship * determine appropriate ways to partner with community in the curatorial process * identify and establish ongoing and respectful relationships * facilitate group processes * balance issues of preservation, access, perspective, and voice * recognize and accommodate diverse and dissenting voices * resolve disputes * develop policies that provide a framework for partnerships * keep everything in perspective Instructor: Dr. Carol Mayer is Curator of Ethnology and Ceramics with the University of British Columbia's Museum of Anthropology Dates: June 12-17, with a preparatory assignment Please register by: May 15 Fee: $589 Canadian funds, credit and non-credit options available Travel: Victoria is easily accessible from Seattle and Vancouver Accommodation: Program staff are pleased to provide information on local B&B, hotel, and on-campus options For more information, please contact: Joy Davis, Program Director Brenda Weatherston, Program Coordinator Cultural Resource Management Program Division of Continuing Studies, University of Victoria Phone 250-721-8462 FAX 250-721-8774 E-mail [log in to unmask] Visit our website! www.uvcs.uvic.ca/crmp To receive e-mail updates, please e-mail [log in to unmask] ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
