Hello,
I'm happy to announce that the Association of Academic Museums and
Galleries recently released our Call for Proposals for the 2021 Annual
Conference. I am reaching out to you today to see if you would be willing
and able to share this information with your networks. Below I have
included the information outlining the proposal process as well as details
for next year's conference theme: Wellness & Equity. Additionally, the link
to our submission portal is provided as well as a graphic if helpful to you
and your audiences.
Should you have any questions at all, need any other information, or if
there is another process to go about submitting our CfP for sharing amongst
your network, please do not hesitate to reach out. Additionally, if there
is another contact for your organization for us to have on hand for any
future similar distributions, let me know.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best,
Alexandra Chamberlain
Vice President Communications, Association of Academic Museums and Galleries

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
