MA Museum Studies, MA Global Heritage Management & MA Curating Art students @NewcastleMGH off to a great start today, using the #ICOM Museum Definition debate to spark ideas for a 'reverse it' activity on what a #museum should not be or do!

🎨🏛️ Wonder why Newcastle University is a great place to study Museum Studies Curating Art and Global Heritage Management? A thread 👇 Connecting scholarly study with practical application, the program gives you essential knowledge and abilities to be ready for the sector.

Another call to come and join my lovely team — email if you have any questions!

We really do have a lovely team and want to make it even lovelier! If anyone has any questions about the job feel free to drop me an email on katie.markham@newcastle.ac.uk

@SimonAStephens @MuseumsAssoc @bushofears has been doing some work on this I believe!

Hi @MuseumsAssoc people. I've been interested to see the recent news about a downturn in volunteering numbers in the UK and wonder if museums and galleries have been impacted. Going to write a Museums Journal analysis on this, so please do get in touch if you have views, etc

Check out this @EducationforIn1 special issue I've co-edited with the @CRT_collective! Dunbar, A.W. et al. (2022) ‘Cultivating collective praxis for scholarly transformation and racial justice’, Education for Information, 38(4), pp. 275–287. Available at: doi.org/10.3233/EFI-22…
