Decolonizing Museums in Practice 8 week course begins October 4
Articles about decolonizing museums are everywhere these days, but what
does this actually mean in practice for museum professionals?
Join Laura Phillips, Heather George, and Nathan Sentance for this 8 week
online course where we will focus on looking critically at how museum
professionals can activate decolonial ways of thinking in their own work
environment, and in their day to day life.
We will investigate how the words of contemporary Indigenous scholars
and curators can be put into practice to promote practices that
de-centre the subtle (and not so subtle) colonial ways of thinking that
surround us every day.
The text book can take a while to arrive so make sure to order it well
in advance if you can not find it locally. This course fills early,
registration is now open for the October/November course.
