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?

*Possible Proposal Topics:*

   - Embedding wellness across the institution
   - Adapting and changing priorities for the better to be more equitable
   - Social emotional learning as a foundation for the educational
   resources
   - Taking the wellness temperature of museums – are we healthy?
   - Helping our parent institutions address racial and gender justice
   practices and initiatives
   - Creating effective political discourse in our communities
   - Expanding audience when embracing health and wellness-oriented
   programs and resources
   - Overcoming the impact of inequities that have long existed in higher
   education and society on museums/galleries
   - Moving our staff, colleagues, students, and audiences from a focus on
   self-care to an emphasis on community-care

*Types of Proposals Requested*

   - SESSION
   - PANEL DISCUSSION
   - BOLD IDEAS
   - ROUNDTABLE
   - POSTER SESSION
