<p><span><font face="Times New Roman" color="#212121">AAMG’s 2021
conference will explore how academic museums and galleries are fostering
wellness and embracing new understandings of equity in the midst of one
of the most challenging social, political, and economic periods in
American history. This year’s conference aims to find new paths and
solutions to a more just and empathetic world. We invite proposals that
address these questions: How are museums and galleries becoming
community hubs where emotional, psychological, and identity-centered
fairness and solace can be explored, created, debated, and located? How
have DEAI initiatives challenged or disrupted your institutional
structure and internal practices, including collections, exhibitions,
storytelling and teaching, and management? How do academic museums and
galleries survive and thrive in this new higher education reality?</font></span></p>
