This online international conference brings academics and practitioners to consider the past, present and future of museum work. The specific theme of the workshop focuses on careers, exploring training, networks, journeys and the interaction of individual careers with global and social challenges. Together, we will ask:How have policies and processes of training, promotion and pathways through museum careers shaped the museum sector?
- How have individuals and communities negotiated and challenged mainstream career paths?
- What kinds of training – informal and formal – support the museum sector?
- How are museum careers shaped?
- How do museum career pathways produce particular competences, hierarchies and ways of working?
