Inclusion - An international conference exploring the role of museums and
galleries in promoting social inclusion
26 - 29 March 2000, University of Leicester
What is the social value of the museum? What role can museums and galleries
play in tackling the contemporary social issues facing the communities they
seek to serve? Fundamentally, in the combating of social exclusion, what, if
anything, can be achieved through the agency of museums? The conference
brings together speakers from Australia, South Africa, USA, and Europe to
explore these important questions.
Inclusion is the Department of Museum Studies' fifth international
conference at the University of Leicester, supported by The Heritage Lottery
Fund and Museums and Galleries Commission.
