Conference Alert: The Museum as an Agent of Social Change
From H-Museum:
The Museum as an Agent of Social Change
Science Museum London
Wednesday 12 November 2008
This conference explores the idea that museums have the potential to empower individuals and communities and therefore contribute towards combating the multiple forms of disadvantage experienced by individuals and communities at risk of social exclusion. The challenges presented by this social change agenda are significant and the implications fundamental to the museums sector. This conference believes that museums have to radically rethink their purpose and renegotiate their relationship to - and role within - society.
