report
posted on 2022-03-18, 16:23 authored by Susannah Eckersley, Helen MearsThis report maps the findings of a study into the use of toolkits and similar online
resources by researchers and practitioners working with(in) the museum and
heritage sector.
The study and report was undertaken by Dr Helen Mears and Dr
Susannah Eckersley, Newcastle University, as part of the HERA funded research
project en/counter/points: (re)negotiating belonging through culture and contact in
public place and space (2019-2022), which focused on relationships between
belonging and public space.
The report includes a review of existing online resources available to those working
on museums and belonging, and the results of a targeted survey undertaken with
museum and heritage sector researchers and practitioners regarding their use of
such resources.
The findings of the survey point to the need for sector-specific
resources which provide clear orientation to complex issues as well as practical
guidance, including by providing examples of practice.
