Museums are very important cultural and social institutions and must respond to and reflect these changes. Museums are responsible for making their visitors and the wider society conscious of current debates through their actions, exhibitions, events and activism. The challenges of decolonizing museums, engaging with ethnotourism and providing museum leadership that enables museums to address important contemporary issues are relevant, and provocative themes for our Conference. The themes all confront the role of our museums in our time and the future. If decolonizing the museum means repatriating objects what does this mean for our collecting policies? How do ethnographic museums engage with the increasing tourist demand for `experiences’ with real people? How should the management of museums plan for the future and change their practices and governance structures to respond to new expectations? We invite you to participate in this challenging debate!<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>The main aims of the conference are the following:<o:p></o:p><ul style='margin-top:0cm' type=disc><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6'>To open a dialogue between scholars of Ethnographic and other museums and to offer a platform for the presentation and discussion of recent research;<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6'>To highlight the significance of the concepts of Decolonizing Museums, Ethnotourism Management and Leadership and Museum management for our times;<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6'>To facilitate a global dialogue on these themes by bringing together museum professionals from all around the world,<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6'>To critically engage with existing theories and methodologies and to provide a platform for the presentation of new research and initiatives that will help us to tackle these core issues and the ways in which we might transform the concept of `collecting’ that has defined museums for decades.<o:p></o:p></li></ul><o:p> </o:p>Conference participation<o:p></o:p>Scholars and museum specialists from around the world are invited to submit their proposals for contributions that will speak to one of the three themes: Decolonizing Museums, Ethnotourism Management and Leadership and Museum Management.
