Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce that the first issue of Museum Worlds - Advances in Research has recently been published by Berghahn Journals.
Museum Worlds is a new, multi-disciplinary, refereed, annual journal that will publish work that significantly advances knowledge of global trends, case studies and theory relevant to museum practice and scholarship around the world.
Each of the contributions to this inaugural issue of Museum Worlds stands independently, and it follows that the articles are quite distinct from one another. Furthermore, the issue does not claim to be a comprehensive review of current trends in museum studies research. Nonetheless, this volume represents a wide number of current trends in museum-related research and practice, includes discussion of examples drawn from five different continents, and, importantly, because of the common threads of change, development, and time, gives an overall sense of dynamism in the field. With a range of articles and reflections that capture breadth as well as depth in the compelling processes of change presently underway in different places and parts of the world, and that also offer the potential for comparison across case studies and contexts, Museum Worlds is critical and responsive, and important now.
