MUSEUM 2013 Inclusive Museum Conference LETTER FROM NATIONAL GALLERY CONFERENCE HOST Dear Delegates, It gives me great pleasure to welcome so many of you from both Denmark and countries far and wide. The Sixth International Conference on the Inclusive Museum is indeed a milestone event for us bringing together diverse museum and heritage professionals, policy makers and researchers as well as graduate students into an inter-disciplinary forum and series of exchanges. As your host it is my honour to create the space for intercultural dialogue and international exchanges. I am also delighted that we are going to have an opportunity to facilitate the Museum Day Seminar on the Park Museums which is an initiative launched by us on 18 March this year. If the museum is considered a civic space, how does one bring the neighbourhood approach to museum clusters so that the stakeholder communities and the custodians of collections can promote active citizenship? When Professor Amareswar Galla approached me last year to host the Conference, I readily accepted his invitation and put in place support through the staff at the National Gallery of Denmark. Berit Anne Larsen and Julie Maria Johnsen and several other staff and museums partners have worked tirelessly to make the Conference an outstanding opportunity for addressing inclusion and active citizenship in the world of museums. The final program far exceeds our expectations. The Danish Agency for Culture has been generous in sponsoring and supporting us in this venture. The future of museums is about partnerships and we are proud to have such a productive partnership with Common Ground Publishing and the International Institute for the Inclusive Museum. I wish you all the best for your presentations and discussions. Yours Sincerely, Karsten Ohrt Director, SMK / National Gallery of Denmark 2013 Inclusive Museum Conference LETTER FROM COMMON GROUND CONFERENCE HOST Dear Delegate, Welcome to the Sixth International Conference on the Inclusive Museum. The conference is a cross-disciplinary forum which brings together museum practitioners, researchers and teachers to discuss the nature, objectives and future shape of the museum. The conference is held annually in different locations around the world, each selected for a particular relationship to an innovative museum or local museum practices. The conversations at this conference weave between the theoretical and the empirical, research and application, institutional pragmatics and social idealism. In professional and disciplinary terms, the conference traverses a broad sweep to construct a transdisciplinary dialogue which encompasses a broad variety of perspectives and practices. In addition to the Inclusive Museum Conference, Common Ground also hosts conferences and publishes journals in other areas of critical intellectual human concern, including aging, food studies, diversity, learning, sustainability, and the interdisciplinary social sciences, to name several. Our aim is to create new forms of knowledge community, where people meet in person and also remain connected virtually making the most of the potentials for access using digital media. We are also committed to creating a more accessible, open and reliable peer review process. Alongside opportunities for well-known academics, we are creating new publication openings for scholars from developing countries and for researchers from institutions that are historically teaching-focused. We would like to invite conference participants to develop publishing proposals for original works or for edited collections of papers drawn from the journal which address an identified theme. Finally, please join our online conversation by subscribing to our monthly email newsletter, and subscribe to our Facebook, RSS, or Twitter feeds at http://onmuseums.com/. We are also proud to announce the launch of Scholar, created in an association between Common Ground and the University of Illinois. If the social glue that holds together Facebook is 'friends' and
