Museum and gallery professionals are often so busy that they do not have a chance to step back and reflect on larger issues facing their workplaces. Because responsibilities also tend to be segmented, one may only hear about institutional challenges through the grapevine, a management memo, or the press, but never be further involved. The Summer Institute in Museum Studies is a week-long concentrated course designed to provide practicing and aspiring professionals with an opportunity for dialogue and reflection. Offered by Carleton\u2019s Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art, and Culture (known as ICSLAC), this non-credit program will focus on current issues in museum work, mainly but not exclusively in Canada. Participants will have the opportunity to experience lectures, discussions, readings, and guided museum and\u00a0 gallery visits that identify dilemmas and directions for those who work in this field and those that aspire to. Participants will also contribute a self-reflexive presentation at the end of the program.<\/p>\n
