LONDON DEBATES at the School of Advanced Study
University of London
14 - 16 May 2009
The School of Advanced Study<http://www.sas.-ac.uk/<http://www.sas.ac.uk/>>
at the University of London<http://www.lon.-ac.uk/<http://www.lon.ac.uk/>>
invites applications for the first of a series of international debates for
outstanding young researchers in the humanities and social sciences.
London Debates are three-day discussion workshops at which a subject of
broad concern in the humanities and social sciences is debated by a small
group of 5 invited senior academics and a selection of early-career
researchers. Plenary seminars will be combined with small-group discussions.
On the last afternoon a report will be drafted and later published online by
the School of Advanced Study.
The competition is open to scholars based in the EU/EEA countries, who are
in their final-year of doctoral study or up to 10 years beyond the award of
their doctorate. Selected applicants will be awarded bursaries to cover
travel and accommodation.
The 2009 topic is: What role do museums play in the globalisation of
culture?
Your response may include, but is not limited to, the following:
(a) Museums as treasure-houses: from bringing the world to our attention to
preserving antiquities;
(b) How are indigenous people represented in metropolitan museums?
(c) Does modern travel render the museum redundant?
(d) The museum out of doors: what is the role of public memory-sites?
(e) Global museums: do they belong to everyone?
(f) Taxonomy of the museum: how and to whom is material presented?
(g) How can museums preserve difficult memories – famine, holocaust,
slavery, etc.
(h) The museum of the future: material or digital?
