Dear colleagues,

The Institute for Culture and Society cordially invites you to attend the Museum, Collecting, Agency <http://www.uws.edu.au/ics/events/museums,_collecting,_agency_a_symposium>  symposium on April 1-2, 2014 at the Australian Museum, Sydney.

The symposium is jointly hosted by ICS, Australian Museum and the Museum and Heritage Program at the University of Sydney and will seek to explore questions of agency as they relate to museum and museum-like practices of collecting, particularly in connection with histories of colonialism and their legacies. The symposium focuses on the question of agency and its implications for understanding ethnographic museum collections and collecting practices.

Keynote speakers are Ann Salmond, Distinguished Professor of Māori Studies and Anthropology at the University of Auckland, and Phil Gordon, Head of Aboriginal Collections at the Australian Museum, Sydney. Refer to the attached flyer for a comprehensive overview of the symposium and list of paper presenters.
RSVP are accepted via the conference online website: (http:/www.bit.ly/HVWDVM<http://www.bit.ly/HVWDVM>).
