apologies for cross-posting --------------------------- Dear All, The provisional programme of the Museums and Restitution conference (University of Manchester 8-9 July 2010) is now available http://www.arts.manchester.ac.uk/museology/museumsandrestitution/programme/ Museums and Restitution is a two-day international conference organised by the Centre for Museology and The Manchester Museum at the University of Manchester. The conference examines the issue of restitution in relation to the changing role and authority of the museum, focussing on new ways in which these institutions are addressing the subject. The conference will bring together museum professionals and academics from a wide range of fields (including museology, archaeology, anthropology, art history and cultural policy) to share ideas on contemporary approaches to restitution from the viewpoint of museums. *Places are limited; book early to avoid disappointment!* http://www.arts.manchester.ac.uk/museology/museumsandrestitution/ Best wishes, Kostas. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dr Konstantinos Arvanitis Programme Director MA Art Gallery & Museum Studies Centre for Museology The University of Manchester Tel.: +44 161 2753018 http://www.manchester.ac.uk/museology/ http://www.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/chimera/ http://twitter.com/kostis43 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + GEM list: Contact the list owner for assistance at [log in to unmask] For information about joining, leaving and suspending mail (eg during a holiday) see the list website at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=GEM + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
