Our call for papers is open through July 16, 2024! Submit your pitch today.
Exhibition, the journal of exhibition theory and practice published by American Alliance of Museums seeks articles that explore evolving notions of ethical practice in museums and institutions for our Spring 2025 issue. Proposals for this issue might address any of the following questions:
What might a code of ethics relating to exhibitions look like? How can museums undertake such work in ways that center equity and inclusion? Who should be involved in decisions regarding interpretive, display, and design choices? Whose perspectives should be taken into consideration when deciding how, or even if, to collect or display an object? How can internal staff and external activists work together to bring about ethical resolutions when objects are suspected of being looted or stolen? How do we define ethical standards when working with community advisors? What is the role of compensation in creating just relationships between museums and their partners? How does DEAI work intersect with and build on our understanding of exhibition ethics?
And of course this list is not exhaustive. Follow the link to read the full call and guidelines on how to submit a proposal and to discover more ways to contribute to Exhibition.
