- Description
In 2000, the University of Florida established a graduate program in Museum Studies. In the last twenty years, museums and museum professions have undergone critical transformations. To mark the twentieth anniversary of the program and the radical changes in Museum Studies and museums, UF is convening a symposium to examine the history and future of museums and museum professionals challenging ideas and practices in order to shape transformational knowledge and experiences.
We are excited to have the following keynote speakers for the symposium:
1. Kaywin Feldman, Director of the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC
2. Joanne Jones-Rizzi, Vice President, STEM Equity and Education, Science Museum of Minnesota.
3. Sean Kelly, Senior Vice President, Director of Interpretation, Eastern State Penitentiary History Site (ESP)
4. Laura Lott, President and CEO, American Alliance of Museums (AAM)
This symposium celebrates the work of museums, Museum Studies, and our communities over the past twenty years. In doing so, this program looks to the future as we work together for a more just and equitable world.Schedule
