Developing Critical Museum Practice
28 November 2024
Alice Stevenson (UCL Institute of Archaeology) was invited to give the Keynote Lecture at the 2024 International University Colloquium on Teaching Museology held at Zhejiang University, China.
Alice's invitation to give her presentation entitled 'Developing Critical Museum Practice: A view from University College London' relates to the Memorandum of Understanding that UCL has with Zhejiang University, in Hangzhou, regarding the University Alliance on Museum Studies.
The objectives of the alliance are:
- To encourage and promote the professionalisation, collaboration, and sustainable development of global museology teaching and
- deepen global cooperation in museology teaching, sharing of resources and promoting innovative development and transformation of museums.
Alice Stevenson is the Co-ordinator of the renowned MA Museum Studies programme at the UCL Institute of Archaeology, which provides students with a broad academic and professional training in museum work and encourages them to reflect on the concept of the museum and its associated practices.
