Hi all,
The Museums Association (MA) is holding an open call for session proposals for its forthcoming one-day conference on diversity, equality and inclusion.
All Inclusive: Championing Diversity in Museums takes place on 24 January 2018 at Thinktank in Birmingham, and aims to empower people to continue challenging the status quo and championing a diverse approach, while providing ideas as to how diversity can move from the margins to mainstream museum practice.
As part of the MA’s vision for "inclusive, participatory and socially engaged museums at the heart of their communities" and its Museums Change Lives policy document, the event will be programmed through an open call for papers. We particularly welcome ideas for workshops and interactive sessions, standalone presentations, panel discussions and other interventions.
Proposals will be considered by an advisory committee made up of diversity champions from across the UK museum sector and members of MA staff. If successful, the MA will work with you to shape up a session that fits within with overall programme for the day.
The deadline for proposals is 27 September. More information, the submissions form, and guidelines to putting forward a proposal, are available here:

Please do email me off list if you have any questions about the process or the event, and if appropriate please do share the call for papers with colleagues, peers etc.
