INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE INCLUSIVE 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 the stickiness of Twitter is having 'followers', then the common bond created in Scholar is 'peers' working together in knowledge producing communities. We call this a ‘social knowledge’ space. Not only can you join the Inclusive Museum community in Scholar. You can also create your own knowledge communities and use Scholar as a learning space, with a strong focus on peer-to-peer dialogue and structured feedback. For more information, visit www.cgscholar.com

This is the longer story of the Inclusive Museum Conference. The shorter story includes a phenomenal amount of careful planning and thinking on the part of Professor Amareswar Galla of the International Institute for the Inclusive Museum, Julie Maria Johnsen of the Statens Museum for Kunst and Berit Anne Larsen of the Statens Museum for Kunst. I would like to thank them for the essential work they have done for this conference.

I would also like to extend a special thank you to the Danish Cultural Agency for sponsoring the conference, the National Gallery of Denmark for hosting the conference and the International Institute for the Inclusive Museum for all the coordination. And on a more personal note, many thanks to thank our Common Ground colleagues who have put so much work into this conference: Tamsyn Gilbert, Phillip Kalantzis-Cope and Izabel Szary.

We wish you all the best for this conference, and hope it will provide you every opportunity for dialogue with colleagues from around the corner and around the world. We also hope you will be able to join us for the Seventh International Conference on the Inclusive Museum, to be held 4-6 August 2014 at the Autry National Center, Los Angeles, USA.

Yours Sincerely,

Bill Cope Director, Common Ground Publishing Research Professor, Education Policy, Organization, and Leadership University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA 2013 Inclusive Museum Conference LETTER FROM THE INSTITUTE FOR THE INCLUSIVE MUSEUM CONFERENCE HOST Dear Esteemed Colleagues and Delegates,

The Director General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, emphasised that ‘Heritage stands at the crossroads of climate change, social transformations and processes of reconciliation between peoples. Heritage carries high stakes – for the identity and belonging of peoples, for the sustainable economic and social development of communities.’ She argued that ‘heritage does not represent luxury; it is a capital investment in the future. It is the sound foundation without which nothing lasting can be built. Disregarding heritage, severing our root, will inevitably clip our wings.’ She has consistently advocated for a paradigm shift to further sustainable develop ment, ‘a new approach to research that is interdisciplinary, solutions oriented and policy relevant, with a stronger social scienc e component.’

It is within this context that the 6th International Conference on the Inclusive Museum has been developed with significant Danish inputs. The excellent learning day in Arken on 31 October 2012 informed the gestation of the programing for this conference. The participants included over 30 curators, educators, conservators and other specialists from various museums in Denmark. Forums from elsewhere across the country including sessions in Aaborg, Aarhus, Herrning and Sorø provided important contributions. Some of the questions posed in these meetings are summarised below.

It has been pointed out that interventions by artists are often made from outside the museum or art museum. While these are important, what is the sustainability and long term impact of such projects within the institution itself? How do curators and artists work from within the museum and in partnerships adding educational value to the project and bringing about corporate cultural transformations within the museum as an agency for active citizenship?

What kind of capacity building and compliance as well as persuasive advocacy strategies are needed to bring about transformat ions which ensure relevance to the culturally and linguistically diverse stakeholders in the second decade of the 21st Century? How do museums become reflexive spaces for rethinking their meanings, missions and civic location?

How do we address difficult and sometimes awkward legacies of our own multiple pasts informed by hegemonic discourses and resulting in ‘silences’ in our institutions? I recall several eminent museologists and museographers, Stephen Weil, Elaine Heumann Gurian and Rick West Jr. to name a few, who have argued that ‘Museums are safe places for unsafe Ideas’. If so, are we prepar ed to take the risk? What are the consequences?

There is considerable time lag between the first President of the United States who acknowledged African Americans and Native Americans to the current President who recently acknowledged Hispanic people, Sexuality and most importantly Women in the making of the American fabric. It is pertinent that gender and gender mainstreaming came up as significant issues informing the making of this conference in Denmark.

Another point is the importance of cooperation and coordination in the transformation of museums as ‘place making’ and ‘cultural animateurs for neighbourhoods’ or museum districts to promote civic engagement and heritage tourism. A key concern is that given the rapid pace of urbanisation across the world and given that the emergent populations are cultural and linguistically diverse, how does one deal with the new challenges of collecting, conserving, managing and interpreting the ‘things’ in our institutions.

The above challenges and several others informed the making of the program that is presented here. If there are four salient directions for promoting the Inclusive Museum from valuable Danish inputs, these are as follows:

 Processes of inclusion through active participation and engagement at a global level.  Synergies in collaboration collective action through strategic and relevant partnerships.  Spaces for mediation enabling ‘reflective, revealing and confronting’ intercultural dialogue promoting mutual respect and reconciliation of differences.  Convergence of communications and the digital domain to maximise on knowledge generation and affordable accessibility.

Through case study analysis, presentations and facilitated dialogue I request you to explore how museums can transform their operations and practices to meet the changing and complex needs of society in a rapidly globalizing world. What are our current museological approaches to cultural and linguistic diversity and should they be re-envisioned? What practices and strategies do we employ to be inclusive? What are the challenges and benefits? How can museums measure their relevance and impact using the ICOM Cultural Diversity Charter? http://onmuseums.com/_uploads/ICOM_Cultural_Diversity_Charter.pdf

As always, a good event is the outcome of team work and many players have been involved in making this Conference possible. The Danish Cultural Agency and its Director General Anne Mette Rahbæk Warburg and the Director of the National Gallery of Denmark, Karsten Ohrt created the space for this important intercultural dialogue. The Museum of Copenhagen, all the institutions in the newly established Museum Park, Kvinfo – The Danish Centre for Research and Information on Gender and Equality, The National Museum of Denmark and the Danish Institute for Human Rights have generously given their time and resources. Berit Anne Larsen and Julie Maria Johnsen and several other staff of the National Gallery of Denmark worked tirelessly to make this event possible.

Finally I would like to thank the Director of Common Ground Publishing Professor Bill Cope for his inspirational leadership and his colleagues, in particular Tamsyn Gilbert, Phillip Kalantzis-Cope and Izabel Szary, who worked hard to make this conference a reality.

The Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon said at the UN Summit on Sustainable Development or Rio+20 in June 2012, ‘More of the Same Will Not Do’. I invite you all to the three days of productive discussions to vision and re-envision the way forward for promoting the Inclusive Museum.

Yours sincerely,

Prof. Amareswar Galla, PhD POBox, Copenhagen ø 2100, Denmark Executive Director Email: [email protected] International Institute for the Inclusive Museum Web: www.inclusiviemuseum.org 2013 Inclusive Museum Conference

ABOUT COMMON GROUND MISSION: Common Ground Publishing aims to enable all people to participate in creating collaborative knowledge and to share that knowledge with the greater world. Through our academic conferences, peer-reviewed journals and books, and innovative software, we build transformative knowledge communities and provide platforms for meaningful interactions across diverse media.

PHILOSOPHY: Common Ground is committed to building dynamic knowledge communities that meet regularly in face-to-face interaction, connect in a virtual community of web spaces, blogs and newsfeeds, and publish in fully refereed academic journals. In this way, we are bringing to the fore our commitment to explore new ways of making and disseminating academic knowledge. We believe that the Internet promises a revolution in the means of production and distribution of knowledge, a promise, as of yet, only partially realized. This is why we are working to expand social and technical frontiers in the production of text, so that academic publishing gains the immediacy, speed and accessibility of the web whilst nevertheless maintaining— and we would hope enhancing—the intellectual standards of legacy peer refereed journals. To support these kinds of emerging knowledge communities, Common Ground continues to have an ambitious research and development agenda, creating cutting edge ‘social web’ technologies and exploring new relationships of knowledge validation.

CONNECTING THE GLOBAL WITH THE LOCAL: Common Ground conferences connect with different host universities and local communities each year, seeking fresh perspectives on questions of global concern. In recent years, we have worked with a wide range of educational institutions including (to list just a few): Beijing Normal University; The Australian National University; The University of London; The Institute for Pedagogical Sciences, Cuba; University of California, Los Angeles; The University of Cambridge, UK; The University of Carthage, Tunisia; Columbia University, New York; Singapore Management University; McGill University, Montreal; The University of Edinburgh, Scotland; and New York University in New York City. At conference sites, we bring the global to the local—academics, researchers and practitioners from around the world gather to discuss conference topics. At the same time, we also bring the local to the global, as local academics and community leaders speak from the perspective of local knowledge and experience. For links to each our twenty-four knowledge communities, visit www.commongroundpublishing.com.

MUSEUM CONFERENCE KNOWLEDGE COMMUNITY At a time when knowledge communities are being redefined and disciplinary boundaries challenged, Common Ground aims to develop innovative spaces for knowledge creation and sharing. Through our conferences, journals and online presence we attempt to mix traditional face-to-face interaction with new ‘social web’ technologies. This is a part of our attempt to develop new modes of deliberation and new media for the dissemination of ideas. Common Ground is founded upon and driven by an ambitious research and knowledge design agenda, aiming to contest and disrupt closed and top-down systems of knowledge formation. We seek to merge physical and online communities in a way that brings out the strengths in both worlds. Common Ground and our partners endeavour to engage in the tensions and possibilities of this transformative moment. We provide three core ways in which we aim to foster this community:

Present: You have already made the first step and are in attendance. We hope this conference provides a valuable source of feedback for your current work and the possible seeds for future individual and collaborative projects. We hope your session is the start of a conversation that continues on past the last day of the conference.

Publish: We also encourage you to publish your paper in The International Journal of the Inclusive Museum. In this way, you may share the finished outcome of your presentation with other participants and members of the Museum Conference. You also have access to the complete works of The International Journal of the Inclusive Museum in which the published work of participants from the conference who submitted papers may be found.

Engage with the Community Online: Each conference presenter is provided a personal CGPublisher website with public and private spaces where you are able to post your photo, biography, and CV; make links to other sites of personal interest; and create a space where collaborators may be invited to access and comment on your works-in-progress. In addition, you can contribute to the online community via our blog, email newsletter and social networking sites.  The Blog and links to other social networking sites can be found at http://onmuseums.com/ideas/.  Email Newsletters: Please send suggested links for news items with a subject line ‘Email Newsletter Suggestion’ to [email protected]. The email newsletter will be sent to all conference participants.  Facebook: Find us on Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/OnMuseums.CG  Twitter: You can now follow the Technology Conference Community on Twitter: @onmuseums  YouTube Channel: View online presentations at http://techandsoc.com/wp-content/plugins/youtube- uploader/action.php?action=list. Create your own YouTube presentation with a link to your session description on the conference website, and (if your paper is accepted to the journal), a link to the abstract of your paper on the journal website.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE SCOPE AND CONCERNS At this time of fundamental social change, what is the role of the museum, both as a creature of that change, and perhaps also as an agent of change? The International Conference on the Inclusive Museum, The International Journal of the Inclusive Museum and the On Museums Book Imprint and News Weblog are places where museum practioners, researchers, thinkers and teachers can engage in discussion on the historic character and future shape of the museum. The key question addressed by the community: How can the institution of the museum become more inclusive? Several dynamics emerge in our contemporary context, each of which may portent a more inclusive museum:

VISITORS No longer the universal individual citizen of our recent modern aspirations, visitors of today are recognisably diverse. The dimensions of this diversity are material (class, locale, family circumstances), corporeal (age, race, sex and sexuality, and physical and mental characteristics) and symbolic (culture, language, gender, family, affinity and persona). These are the gross demographics, the things that insist on our attention. But if we take the time to look more closely at today’s public, it is qualified by intersections and layers of identity which immediately turn the gross demographics into, at times, dangerous oversimplifications. The paradox of today’s public is that, in an era of globalisation, actual cultures are diverging: dispositions, sensibilities, values stances, interests, orientations, affinities and networks. So how can one speak to audiences? How does participation work? How can we create meanings which are germane? ‘Inclusivity’ names part of the answer, a paradoxically two sided answer. One side is to recognise particularity. Who and what should be in the museum? What is it to be comprehensive? What is canonical and definitive? To answer these questions today, we need to move beyond the divisions of high as opposed to popular culture, the techno-scientific as opposed to the everyday, the national-modern as opposed to the ethnographic-traditional. No longer can we solve the problem of difference, of ‘us’ and ‘them’, by putting them in separate categories and spaces unto themselves. We need to anticipate the particularities of visitors. The other side of this answer requires us not just to catalogue of differences, to check them off from a list of potential points of dissonance. It demands that we create a new and paradoxical form of universality, the universality of inclusivity. How do we create a museum where the text is open, where every visitor is allowed the space to create their own meanings, where no visitor is left out? The answer in part is in to devise new…

FORMS OF ENGAGEMENT What is the role today of the reader, the viewer, the audience, the citizen, the customer, the patron? Our recent modernity was premised on relatively passive readers, viewers and audiences; relatively compliant employees and dependent citizens; and relatively appreciative customers and patrons. To take just a few touchstones of change, the new media turn readers, viewers and audiences into users, players and characters. Workers are supposed to personify the enterprise and citizens to take responsibility for themselves. And customers are always right—and for their differences, products and services have to be customised—and the quirks of patrons always patronised. The change represents an evening up of balance of agency and a blurring of roles, between producers and consumers of knowledge, between creators and readers of culture, and between the person in command and the person consenting. In museums, more than simply ‘interaction’, visitors need to place themselves in the exhibition, to belong in the space and to join the cultural dialogue. For museums, this is the basis for a new communicative frame of reference and a new pedagogics. This will be made possible at least in part through the new…

MODALITIES OF REPRESENTATION The emerging communications environment—in which image, sound and word are all made of the same stuff, and communicated using the same, digital technologies—provides new openings for museums, and new challenges. Not only are museums challenged to preserve heritage which is increasingly ‘born digital’. It is also the case today that there is no collectable object, no site-specific experience, which cannot be reproduced and made available to ‘visitors’ at the ends of the earth though digital means of representation. This creates unique challenges in the realm of intellectual property, the practicalities of relating to visitors who are more diverse than ever, and exploring the communicative affordances of the ‘mutliteracies’ of digital representation. In meeting these challenges, museums are destined to reflect their changing world, and also—at times provocatively, riskily— change that world. The Museum Conference, Journal, Book Imprint and News Weblog provide a forum for the discussion of these and other fundamental questions which will surely determine the changing shape and future role of museums.

SESSION DESCRIPTIONS

SESSION GUIDELINES CHAIRING OF PARALLEL SESSIONS Common Ground usually provides graduate students to chair all of the parallel sessions. If you wish, you are welcome to chair your own session, or provide your own chair or facilitator for your session. The chair's role is to introduce the presenter and keep the presentation within the time limit.

PROGRAM CHANGES Please see the notice board near the conference registration desk for any changes to the printed program (e.g., session additions, deletions, time changes, etc.). If a presenter has not arrived at a session within 5 minutes of the scheduled start time, we recommend that participants join another session. Please inform the registration desk of ‘no-shows’ whenever possible.

SESSION TYPES PLENARY Plenary sessions, by some of the world’s leading thinkers, are 30 minutes in length. As a general rule, there are no questions or discussion during these sessions.

PAPER PRESENTATIONS IN THEMED SESSIONS Paper presentations are grouped by general themes or topics into Themed Sessions. Each presenter in the session makes a formal fifteen-minute presentation of their work; Q&A and group discussion follow after all have presented. Each presenter's formal, written paper will be available to participants if accepted to the journal.

WORKSHOP/INTERACTIVE SESSION Workshop sessions involve extensive interaction between presenters and participants around an idea or hands-on experience of a practice. These sessions may also take the form of a crafted panel, staged conversation, dialogue or debate – all involving substantial interaction with the audience. A single article (jointly authored, if appropriate) may be submitted to the journal based on a workshop session.

COLLOQUIM Colloquium sessions consist of five or more short presentations with audience interaction. A single article or multiple articles may be submitted to the journal based on the content of a colloquium session.

ROUNDTABLES Individual authors have an assigned table during a session to review and discuss the ideas, frameworks, and perspectives underlying their work with interested delegates who gather at the table.

VIRTUAL PRESENTATION Virtual presentations are papers submitted without the participant attending the conference in person, but are eligible to be refereed and published (if accepted) in the journal. A virtual presentation allows participants to join the conference community in the following ways:  The conference proposal will be listed in the Session Descriptions of the conference.  Acceptance of a conference proposal for a virtual participant is based on the same criteria as that for an attending participant.  The full paper may be submitted to the journal.  The journal paper submission will be refereed against the same criteria as attending participants. If accepted, the paper will be published in the same volume as conference participants from the same year.  Online access to all papers published in the journal from the time of registration until one year after the conference end date.

TALKING CIRCLES Talking circles are meetings of minds, often around points of difference or difficulty. They are common in indigenous cultures. The inherent tension of these meetings is balanced by protocols of listening and respect for varied viewpoints. From this, rather than criticism and confrontation, productive possibilities may emerge.

2013 Inclusive Museum Conference

The Purpose of Talking Circles in this Conference The purpose of the Talking Circles is to give shape to a conference that is wide-ranging in its scope and broad-minded in its interests. They also give people an opportunity to interact around the key ideas of the conference away from the formalities of the plenary, paper, workshop and colloquium sessions. They are places for the cross-fertilisation of ideas, where cycles of conversation are begun, and relationships and networks formed.

Talking Circles are not designed to force consensus or even to strive towards commonality. Their intention is, in the first instance, to find a common ground of shared meanings and experiences in which differences are recognised and respected. Their outcome is not closure in the form of answers, but an openness that points in the direction of pertinent questions. The group finally identifies axes of uncertainty that then feed into the themes for the conference of the following year.

How Do They Work? The Talking Circles meet for two sessions during the conference, and the outcomes of each Talking Circle are reported back to the whole conference in the closing plenary session. They are grouped around each of the conference streams and focus on the specific areas of interest represented by each stream. Following is the Talking Circles outline that is currently in use, but we welcome feedback and suggestions for improvement from participants. Talking Circle 1: Who Are We? What is our common ground? Talking Circle 2: What is to be done? Closing Plenary: Talking Circles report back.

It is important to note that each Talking Circle may be organised in any way that members of the group agree is appropriate. They may be informal and discursive, or structured and task-oriented. Each Talking Circle group has a facilitator.

The Role of the Facilitator The facilitator must be comfortable with the process of thinking 'out of the square' and also embracing multiple and diverse scenarios. The process is one of creating a kind of collective intelligence around the stream. The facilitator should shape a conversation that is open to possibilities and new lines of inquiry or action; they should embody a spirit of openness to new knowledge rather than the closure of advocacy. The facilitator is required to keep a record of the main discussion points. These points need to be summarised for the closing plenary session at the conference.

Possible Session Contents - Suggestions to Assist Facilitators Talking Circle 1: Who are we? Orientation: members of the group briefly introduce themselves. What could be the narrative flow of the Talking Circle sessions? What could be the outcomes of the work of this group and its contribution to the closing plenary session, the Journal and the Conference as a whole (including the themes for next year's conference)? Assessing the landscape, mapping the territory: What is the scope of our stream? Do we want to rename it? What are the burning issues, the key questions for this stream? What are the forces or drivers that will affect us as professionals, thinkers, citizens, and aware and concerned people whose focus is this particular stream? Where could we be, say, ten years hence? Scenario 1: optimism of the will; Scenario 2: pessimism of the intellect.

Talking Circle 2: What is to be done? What are our differences? The setting: present and imminent shocks, crises, problems, dilemmas - what are they and what is the range of responses? What are the cleavages, the points of dissonance and conflict? What are the dimensions of our differences (1)? Politics, society, economics, culture, technology, environment. What are the dimensions of our differences (2)? Persons, organisations, communities, nations, the global order.

What is our common ground? Where are the moments of productive diversity? What are the bases for collaboration (1)? Politics, society, economics, culture, technology, environment. What are the bases for collaboration (2)? Persons, organisations, communities, nations, the global order. Alternative futures: outline several alternative scenarios. What are the forces that drive in the direction of, or mitigate against, each scenario?

What is to be done? What's been coming up in the parallel sessions in this stream since the last Talking Circle? What is the emerging view of the future? Can we foresee, let alone predict alternative futures? Looking back a decade hence, what might be decisive or seminal in the present? Scenarios: can we create images of possibility and agendas for robust alternative futures? Directions: conventional and unconventional wisdoms? Strategies: resilience in the face of the inevitable or creative adaptation? What could be done: review the scenarios developed in Talking Circle 1. Axes of uncertainty: working towards the right questions even when there's no certainty about the answers.

2013 Inclusive Museum Conference

TUESDAY 23 APRIL

Please see the Conference Program for more detailed information on the Museum Day and each option.

The Museum Day at the International Conference on the Inclusive Museum is convened by the International Institute for the Inclusive Museum. The Museum Day is more than a site visit. Participants are actively engaged in workshop sessions prepared by the host institutions addressing the ICOM Cultural Diversity Charter and interrogating active citizenship and inclusion as policy priorities for the transformation of museums in the 21st Century. The sessions are free and open to only the registered participants of the 6th International Conference on the Inclusive Museum. All the venues are within walking distance of the main Conference site: The National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen.

Please access the detailed schedules of Options for the day on the Conference web page: http://onmuseums.com/the- conference/program/museum-day

Purpose How do cultural institutions address gender mainstreaming? Gender mainstreaming has emerged as a new global equity strategy by 1995 and was carried at the Fourth UN World Conference in the Beijing Platform of Action. At the EU level the notion was endorsed in the late 1990s and implemented in the Amsterdam Treaty (1997). In 2013, the question as to how the gender dimension is defined and negotiated in a range of cultural institutions - and in relation to key cultural issues - has become very significant. KVINFO, the International Institute for the Inclusive Museum and the Danish Institute for Human Rights are convening this one day seminar on Tuesday, 23 April, where we can scope, assess and understand the extent to which cultural institutions are addressing gender mainstreaming and perhaps come up with a set of strategic directions to be presented to the final Plenary Session of the 6th International Conference on the Inclusive Museum on Wednesday, 24 April. 2013 Inclusive Museum Conference

------Urban Archaeology as a Site for Active Citizenship Søren Bak-Jensen, Head of the Antiquarian Section, Museum of Copenhagen

The Museum of Copenhagen is currently involved in large-scale archaeological excavations in connection with the construction of a new metro line in Copenhagen. These excavations disturb and disrupt the flow of city life on a daily basis, and the uncovering of the city’s past takes place behind a fence. Through an open archaeological excavation, through guided tours, through a new exhibition, the Museum of Copenhagen has explored ways to allow a more democratic and participatory approach to the documentation of the past below us. At the workshop, experiences from this and other similar projects will be discussed.

Objects of Love, Works of Love – participatory contemporary collecting Jette Sandahl, Director, Museum of Copenhagen

In 2013 the Museum of Copenhagen will experiment with revitalizing and testing the relevance of one of its most traditional collections, the very personal and highly symbolic objects left after philosopher Søren Kierkegaard – including, of course, the ring from the famously broken relationship. In a new exhibition, in events and new collecting, structured through the diverse, fraught, often tortured but never banal, concepts of love in Kierkegaard’s writings, the museum will open a public conversation on the complex ideas, practices and contradictions of love in the urban 21st century, and involve the public in developing the collecting practices of the museum. A series of themed, facilitated meetings invites the public to bring an object from their own ‘emotional museums’. In an open dialogue among the participants these personal objects are narrated, documented and registered, and the ‘best’, ‘most symbolic’ objects are chosen to be instantly included in the exhibition, on the web, and in the museum’s collection. Participants in this workshop will be asked to also bring an object of their own that for them signifies an aspect of love - friendship, erotic love, parental love, joy, exhilaration, subjugation, loss of love etc.

The exhibition Becoming a Copenhagener Jakob Parby, Curator, Museum of Copenhagen

This exhibition opened in November 2010 and deals with migration and identity in Copenhagen throughout its history. Our goal with the exhibition was to shift the discourse on migration in Denmark and Copenhagen by creating an exhibition that problematized and denaturalized dominating notions of national identity and migration. In the urban context, we argued, significant migration was not a modern phenomenon, but a natural state of affairs. Without migration the city could not have grown demographically and culturally. And the continuous waves of internal and external migrants have in many ways defined what it means to be and to become a Copenhagener. Using a thematic approach and combining objects, multimedia and contemporary art the exhibition has been quite popular and apparently has struck a strong note of recognition and reflexion among visitors. However, the initial intention to involve communities in the creation of the exhibition was not equally successful. The workshop/session takes a closer look on the apparent paradox between the paradigmatic success of the exhibition and the lack of cultural participation.

The WALL – co-creating a common cityscape Sarah Giersing, Curator, Museum of Copenhagen

The workshop will take place at the WALL which is currently situated at the central Dronning Louise’s Bro. The WALL is a mobile digital platform, which suggests new ways to let audiences explore and discuss their city’s history as well as shape and document digital future heritage. It grants street-level access to interact with an open-ended database gradually amassing both museum and usergenerated material into a multi-layered and poly-vocal narrative of Copenhagen that maps emotions and everyday life as well as topography and historical events. This workshop probes the democratization of curating and collecting practices through participatory museum activities like the WALL. 2013 Inclusive Museum Conference

In an attempt to scope the common ground for stakeholder community engagement the workshop will revolve around a discussion on the different ways in which the public can be invited to reflect on professional conservation practices and even participate in hands-on processes all the while broadening their sense of responsibility for cultural heritage as well as voicing their own views on the aesthetics of art in public spaces. We will discuss similar projects in other countries to examine the (dis)advantages in relation to different types of cultural heritage. 2013 Inclusive Museum Conference

Option 3 International Workshop Place Making - Parkmuseerne (Park Museums) Bringing Museums & Their Local Communities Together www.parkmuseerne.dk 9:00 AM to 17:00 PM Tuesday 23 April 2013 The workshop may touch upon the following points:

- What type of local groups could we engage? - Where do we draw the line between professionalism and public involvement when it comes to hands-on work? - How do we prompt a desire in the general public to help safeguard art in public spaces? - Can we shift public perception to see the sculptures we pass by every day anew? - How can we find a way to work together across different institutions and budgets with this? - Can we balance our professional aesthetics with those of the community (for instance, regarding patina)?

2013 Inclusive Museum Conference

THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THE INCLUSIVE MUSEUM

2013 Inclusive Museum Conference

ABOUT THE JOURNAL

The International Journal of the Inclusive Museum addresses the following key question: In this time of fundamental social change, what is the role of the museum, both as a creature of that change, and perhaps also as an agent of change? The journal brings together academics, curators, museum and public administrators, cultural policy makers and research students to engage in discussions about the historic character and future shape of the museum. The key question of the journal is: How can the institution of the museum become more inclusive?

EDITOR Amareswar Galla, Ph.D.- Professor and Executive Director, International Institute for the Inclusive Museum, Denmark & India; Former Vice President, ICOM, Paris

OPEN PEER REVIEW The International Journal of Technology, Knowledge and Society is a fully peer reviewed scholarly journal, one of sixty-nine academic journals published by Common Ground. Common Ground’s approach to peer review is open and inclusive. Instead of being dominated by the exclusive academic hierarchies represented by many traditional editors and their networks, Common Ground journals build lateral knowledge communities. Our referee process is criterion-referenced, and referees are selected on the basis of subject matter and disciplinary expertise. Ranking is based on clearly articulated criteria. The result is a refereeing process that is scrupulously fair in its assessments. At the same time, the process offers a carefully structured and constructive contribution to the shape of the published paper.

INTELLECTUAL EXCELLENCE The result of our peer review process is a publishing method which is without prejudice to institutional affiliation, stage in career, national origins, or disciplinary perspective. If the paper is excellent, and has been systematically and independently assessed as such, it will be published. This is why Common Ground journals have such a vast amount of exciting new material. Much of the content originates from well-known research institutions, but a considerable amount of material comes from brilliantly insightful and innovative academics in lesser known institutions in the developing world, emerging researchers, people working in hard-to-classify interdisciplinary spaces, and researchers in liberal arts colleges and teaching universities. In recognition of the highest levels of excellence, an international prize is awarded annually for the top-ranked paper in each journal.

ACCESSIBILITY Common Ground is developing a low-cost commercial approach to academic publishing. We believe there are limitations in both the high-cost commercial publishing and the seemingly no-cost open access publishing models. This is why we are seeking to find a practical middle way between the idealism of open access and the inefficiencies and greed of which the big journal publishers are increasingly accused. The idealism of open access often creates new problems, leaving academics in the often less-than-happy role of amateur publisher. And ironically, open access journals and repositories sometimes give insider networks even greater control over what gets published than was traditionally the case with the big commercial publishers.

This is one of the reasons that Common Ground has recently made all of its journals hybrid open access. The hybrid open access model offers authors the choice to pay a small fee to have their article made freely available for viewing and downloading by anyone immediately upon publication. This model also grants readers broad reuse rights to encourage the widespread republication and distribution of open access articles. Thus, while all Common Ground journal articles are automatically available via personal and institutional subscriptions and can be purchased for a small per-article fee, authors may also opt to make their article available to anyone for free by making it open access.

2013 Inclusive Museum Conference

SUBMISSION INFORMATION Registration for the Inclusive Museum Conference allows participants the opportunity to publish in The International Journal of the Inclusive Museum. Presenters may submit their papers up to one month after the conference. Submitted papers will be fully refereed. The publication decision will be based on the referees’ reports. To submit, at least one author of each paper must be registered to attend the conference (to a maximum of one paper per registered author).

General Requirements:  We only accept text files or files in .doc format (such as from Microsoft Word or OpenOffice). We do not accept PDF submissions or .docx files.  Papers should be approximately 2,000-5,000 words in length. They should be written as continuous expository narrative in a chapter or article style – not as lists of points or a PowerPoint presentation.  Please remember that the papers are to be published in a fully refereed academic journal. This means that the style and structure of your text should be relatively formal. For instance, you should not submit a verbatim transcript of your oral presentation, such as, “Today I want to speak to you about …”  Paper submissions must contain no more than 30% of textual material published in other places by the same author or authors, and these other places must be acknowledged and cited; in other words, the remaining 70% of the paper must be unique and original to your current submission.  Authors must ensure the accuracy of citations, quotations, diagrams, tables and maps.  Citations must be submitted in accordance with the Chicago Manual of Style.  Spelling can vary according to national usage, but should be internally consistent.  Papers should be thoroughly checked and proofread before submission, both by the author and a critical editorial friend – after you have submitted your paper you are unable to make any changes to it during the refereeing process.  Papers will be assessed by referees against ten criteria – or fewer if some criteria do not apply to a particular kind of paper (see the Peer Review Process).

Illustration/Electronic Artwork Guidelines:  Figures and images must be clear and easy to view. Common Ground cannot improve the quality of images.  Figures and tables need to be placed where they are to appear in the text. If preferred, you may also place images and tables at the end of your paper.  Please refrain from using Word Drawing objects. Instead use images imported from a drawing program. Word Drawing objects will not be rendered in the typeset version.

Keyword Guidelines: Keywords are extremely important in search engine rankings. To achieve better exposure for your paper, please make sure your keywords are clear and accurate.

Resubmission Policy: If your paper has been rejected, we will allow a maximum of TWO further resubmissions until TWO months prior to the anticipated publication date.

How to submit a paper: For information on how to submit a paper, please visit the “Publish Your Paper” page at http://onmuseums.com/journal/publish-your-paper/.

The publication process is as follows:  When we receive a paper, it is verified against template and submission requirements. If there are any problems, authors will be asked to resubmit the paper.  The paper will be prepared and matched to two appropriate referees. When a paper has been submitted to the referees, authors will receive an email notification. Additionally, authors may be asked to referee up to 3 papers.  When the referee reports are uploaded, authors will be notified by email and provided with a link to view the reports (after the referees' identities have been removed).  If a paper is accepted, we will confirm conference registration before sending a Publishing Agreement.  Authors will then be asked to accept the Publishing Agreement and submit the final paper.  Papers will be typeset and proofs made available for final approval before publication in the journal’s online bookstore as well as in individual author Creator Sites.

The final date for submission of papers to the Journal (for one way blind refereeing) is 24 May, 2013 – one month after the close of the conference.

Papers are published continuously in the online bookstore. Authors may view the status of their paper at any time by logging into their CGPublisher account at www.CGPublisher.com. 2013 Inclusive Museum Conference

2013 Inclusive Museum Conference INCLUSIVE MUSEUM BOOKS PUBLISHTED BY COMMON GROUND As part of the conference registration, participants are provided with a complimentary electronic version of each of the following books from the Inclusive Museum Book Series:

International Heritage Instruments and Climate Change Rae Sheridan and John Sheridan

International Heritage Instruments and Climate Change considers the current and potential effectiveness of two UNESCO instruments, the 1872 World Heritage Convention and the 2003 Intangible Cultural Heritage Convention, in protecting and safeguarding the world’s cultural heritage against the escalating threat from climate change.

This work considers the threat that climate change poses to cultural heritage, both directly and indirectly (through climate change’s effects on humanity) and recommendations are made as to how the Conventions might be fortified to better protect and safeguard cultural heritage. Finally, International Heritage Instruments presents a case study built around the culturally rich region of Leh, Ladakh, which was recently devastated by climate change linked flooding and landslides.

Museums and Communities: Changing Dynamics Deborah Tranter

This book draws on the experiences of the author as the director of the Cobb+Co Museum in Toowoomba, Australia since its opening in 1987. It charts the changing dynamics between the museum and its community that have provided enormous benefits to both the institution and the community itself.

Museums can play substantial leadership roles within communities. This occurs when the relationship between the museum and its community becomes entrenched with shared values. These values can facilitate social, cultural, and economic benefits for both museums and their communities. This book explores these values and their expression within a regional museum context.

Vietnam Museum of Ethnology: The making of a national museum for communities Nguyễn Văn Huy

For more than a decade (1995–2006), the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology has undertaken many journeys: journeys to bring relevant ethnographic objects to the museum; journeys to reach the opening of the museum's permanent exhibition in its new structure–itself shaped like a traditional bronze drum–journeys to prepare temporary exhibitions; journeys to seek out and erect houses of different ethnic groups in the museum's outdoor exhibition; journeys to learn about and present craft demonstrations and performances; journeys to implement educational programs for children; and journeys to introduce multimedia into museum activities. Each journey–creative and educational–has provided opportunities for us to learn about how the people in our country have adapted to changing conditions.

Plantation to Nation: Caribbean Museums and National Identity Edited by: Alissandra Cummins, Kevin Farmer, and Roslyn Russel

Plantation to Nation: Caribbean Museums and National Identity explores the evolution of Caribbean museums from colonial-era institutions that supported imperialistic goals to today’s museums that aim to recover submerged or marginalized histories, assert national identities and celebrate cultural diversity.

This book is the first to focus on the growth and development of Caribbean museums and museology, to address museums across the region regardless of nation or language, and to allow for much-needed discourse on their evolution.

Museologists from across the region and internationally address the challenges faced by

museums in the Caribbean, both historically and in the contemporary setting. *Set for Release in May of 2013

2013 Inclusive Museum Conference

RECENT BOOKS PUBLISHED BY COMMON GROUND Below are selections of books published in other Book Series. These and other books are available at http://theuniversitypressbooks.cgpublisher.com/

Sustaining Living Culture Frieda E. Gebert and Kevin Gibson (eds)

While it is indisputable that the Earth’s physical resources are being depleted, distinct cultural practices are also being eroded by forces of development and homogenization. The central question addressed in this book is how to sustain cultural practices that are still active today but are, nevertheless, vulnerable. This is a time when many unique cultures are threatened; practitioners of rare arts are aging, young people are being integrated into larger communities, languages are disappearing, and cultural memories are being lost. Sadly, once the integrity of cultural knowledge is lost, it can never be fully restored. These articles embody dynamic contemporary efforts to sustain ongoing, and therefore, ever- changing cultural practices, not merely closed histories of past events. The lessons learned in these pages can be passed on to future generations to nourish living cultures.

Views from the frontline: Voices of conscience on college campuses Sherwood Thompson

Views from the Frontline: Voices of Conscience on College Campuses draws upon the experience of educators working to sustain diversity and multiculturalism on college campuses. The book provides a forum for educators to express their views and tell their stories about their struggles and success. The book is filled with passionate accounts and new perspectives on diversity, inclusion and multicultural community building. It is committed to informing and inspiring readers to learn more about the transformation of cultural diversity on college campuses through documenting the experiences of administrators and faculty that are changing the legacies of higher education.

China and the Humanities: At the crossroads of the human and the humane Kang tchou

In the first decade of the 21st century, from the Beijing Olympics to the Shanghai World Exposition, the Chinese dragon that Napoleon hoped would sleep forever has awakened from its slumber. If 2008 was for China a year of international athletics, and 2010 a year of business and economics, then 2009 was a year of the Humanities in China. Over 450 scholars from 16 countries gathered at the historic Friendship Hotel in Beijing to find a new direction for the Humanities. This collection of twelve essays on human rights, philosophy, education, theater, literature, medical humanities, consumer culture, and ethnic minorities in China, by authors from six countries represents the myriad of discourses that marked that meeting of minds. As a book it builds a bridge between China and the Humanities by taking its reader to the intersection of the human and the humane. quo needs to be addressed in order for the field to go forward.
