FIHRM - Federation of International Human Rights Museums
Invitation and call for papers
Museums and Human Rights
8-10 October 2012
International Slavery Museum
Liverpool, UK
Call for Papers and Proposals
We would like to invite you to submit your expressions of interest to attend and/or speak at the conference. The theme of this year's conference is:
Museums and Human Rights
It is five years since the opening of the International Slavery Museum. In that time, the view has become more widespread that museums should play an active role in fighting for human rights, and there are now many museums around the world that are active in this field.
In this conference we want to consider the ways in which museums have - or have not - made progress.
We wish to look at recent and current examples of progressive work, in terms of combating gender and ethnic inequalities, discrimination and other human rights abuses.
Proposals
You can submit proposals for case studies, research papers, workshops and poster sessions under any of the above themes. Proposals should be about 300 words. In addition, you are asked to submit a short biography of about 200 words.
All papers must be in English.
The deadline is 30 June 2012.
Bursary Scheme
FIHRM will offer a number of bursaries to cover travel and accommodation for those who would not be able to attend otherwise. For more details on the bursary scheme, please visit the website at www.fihrm.org
