Intended audience

It is intended for researchers and PhD students who have the museum and its contexts as an object of study.

 

Forms of participation

 

1. Thesis tutorial sessions

Doctoral students are invited to participate in the Seminar through the thesis tutorial sessions.

Participants receive feedback on the design, data collection and / or analysis of their thesis. To participate in these sessions, students must apply in advance (see Guidelines). You may apply to participate in the thesis tutorial session and simultaneously make a submission to a paper presentation and / or submit an article for publication. Places are limited.

We call for presentations that will open up discussion of how to rethink and reimagine musealisation processes and other associations (eg patrimonialization), exploring critical aspects of the production of knowledge about museums and the involvement of museum professionals.
