Call for papers and posters--Seminar on conservation and source communities

Call for papers and posters
Icon Ethnography Group one Day Seminar

"Conservation and Source Communities: Research, Objects and
    Treatments"
The Pitt Rivers Museum
University of Oxford
Friday June 17, 2011

The ICON Ethnography Group invites submissions for papers and
posters for a one-day seminar which will explore conservation
projects involving work with source communities. New approaches to
conservation treatments have arisen as conservators are increasingly
seeking consultations with source communities over the treatment,
interpretation and display of objects. For this seminar we would
like to explore the many types of community consultations that help
to shape projects involving ethnographic material. This could
include liaising with local community groups to long distance
correspondence with source communities. Additionally, papers could
examine the various benefits to treatments that consultations bring
and how consultations can shape conservation thinking.

Paper abstracts should be 300 words in length in Word format, and
submitted by Friday March 25, 2011.

Poster abstracts should be 150 words in length in word format, and
submitted by Friday April 22, 2011.

Please submit all abstracts via email to the Ethnographic committee
at ethnoseminar2011<-a t->gmail< . >com

Please ensure the author's affiliation and contact details are
clearly marked on the abstract.

Presentations will be 20 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions and
discussion.

Please don't hesitate to contact the ethnography group with any
queries at the email address above.
