No dia 20 de Outubro, no Sackler Centre, Victoria and Albert Museum, em Londres, financiado pela ESRC e pelo Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), realiza-se o seminário Museums, the cultural industries and social inclusion. Objectivos:The seminar will explore the significance of museums to the fulfilment of social inclusion / cohesion agendas and to regeneration and cultural industry initiatives. Recent research examining the significance of museums to social inclusion and cohesion will be presented, along with reflections on how the social role and impact of museums can be variously theorised and the practical barriers that may limit museums acting as agents of social inclusion and cohesion. The seminar will also address the relationships between this use and the demands placed on museums by their adoption as agents of growth and regeneration. The seminar is orientated towards outlining and drawing together the insights and concerns of academic research, museum professions and policy makers. It is hoped that the seminar, will provide a stimulus for further reflection and collaboration between these groups.De entre os oradores confirmados incluem-se: Andrew Newman (University of Newcastle), Suzanne McLeod (University of Leicester), Sue Wilkinson (MLA), Andy Pratt (LSE), e Paul Jones (University of Liverpool).Mais informações aqui.
