  • 1.  Last Call for Submissions to Exhibition journal!

    LAST CALL!
    Don't miss the January 6 deadline.

    Exhibition, the journal of theory and practice published by American Alliance of Museums, is currently seeking submissions for its Fall 2025 issue, "Accessing the Museum: Reflecting on 35 Years of ADA."

    The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990. This landmark legislation extended civil rights protections to those with a wide range of conditions, ensuring that employers, public services, and public entities like businesses, schools, theaters, and museums could not discriminate against anyone with a disability-physical, cognitive, sensory, or otherwise.

    For this issue, we seek articles that examine the many facets of accessible exhibition-making. We are particularly interested in highlighting specific projects or spaces that show how an institution's understanding of access or anti-ableism has evolved and expanded over time, moving from adherence to ADA to an embrace of universal design and inclusive practice.

    We highly encourage contributions from authors within the disability community and/or co-authorship, particularly with user experts and/or accessibility partners, including those outside the museum field.

    See the full call and tips for submitting your proposal on the journal's webpage: https://www.aam-us.org/programs/publications/exhibition-journal/call-for-papers/
