University of Leicester Museum Studies Panels

25 January 2021

The School of Museum Studies at the University of Leicester is a place where researchers, practitioners, and postgraduate students from around the world come together to think creatively and critically about museums, galleries, and heritage; to explore and investigate, to experiment and create, to question and debate.

We are pleased to announce that the School of Museum Studies will be running a number of panel discussions, seminars, and information sessions over the coming months.

The first of these panel sessions, ‘A Global Leaders Panel: New Shapes of Leadership for the Twenty-First Century Museum’, will take place on Wednesday 27th January, from 12:00pm – 13:30pm GMT . Please find details below:

Panellists:

Américo Castilla, Fundacion TyPA

Panel Chair: Prof Ross Parry, School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester
