Current Research from the Field: Deadline is June 30th
MPMA has a new session this year aimed at researchers! The session,
Current Research from the Field, offers an opportunity for professionals in the
museum and heritage fields to present their research in a session at the
MPMA Annual Meeting. The purpose of this new session is to broaden
eligibility of participants and to maintain MPMA's academic and research focus.
This Call for Papers invites proposals of 300 words maximum from students,
emerging professionals, and established professionals who work or study in
the MPMA region, on current research or work in progress on any matter
relating to museums or heritage. The deadline for submission of proposals is
June 30, 2014. Submissions will be anonymously evaluated by a panel
comprising representatives of MPMA-COMPT, MPMA-AAMG, and others to be decided.
Three proposals will be selected which, in the opinion of the panelists, will
be of greatest interest to the Annual Meeting participants.
The winning authors then will develop the proposal into papers to be
presented in the Current Research from the Field session. Notification of the
results will be via email by 14th July.
Please submit proposals to Nicky Ladkin at [log in to unmask]
(mailto:[log in to unmask]) as a pdf attachment to an email. Please enter
"Current Research Proposal" in the subject line. The proposal should include a
title but should not include the name of the author. It should be typed
double-spaced and the pages should be numbered.

-------a museum summit
Snowmass/Aspen, Colorado
September 28-October 2, 2014
Aspen and Snowmass may have celebrity visitors and residents (the Goldie
Hawn-Kurt Russell clan, Hunter S. Thompson, and John Denver, just to name a
few). It also may have all the comforts ofa world-class ski resort. But
it also goes easy on the clothes. Ditch the heels and go for hiking boots
or sneaks. Bring the fleece jacket, outer shell, warm shirt, T-shirt, your
favorite socks and thin gloves. Shorts can be worn but bring long pants for
chilly nights. FALL is THE best time and the most beautiful.
