Of special interest is how the historical narratives constructed in museums help to shape new social relations in a dynamically changing present.
Scholars in various disciplines (anthropology, sociology, history, memory studies, museology, art history, and political science, among others) and museum professionals, including curators and museum educators, are invited to discuss the role of museums in negotiating contested histories in relation to their publics.
