GLAM Round Table – New Horizons for the Gardens, Libraries and Museum of Oxford

In this Round Table, chaired by Linacre Fellow Professor Chris Morton, the convenors of the Linacre Lecture Series will discuss with representatives of the Oxford Gardens, Libraries and Museums what lies ahead for their respective institutions. The Round Table discussion will centre around the question: In our rapidly changing world, how can Gardens, Libraries and Museums ensure their narratives remain relevant and relatable?

We are delighted that the participants taking part in the Round Table with include:

Prof. Silke Ackermann (History of Science Museum)
Dr Ricardo Perez de la Fuente (Natural History Museum)
Dr Sarah Edwards (Oxford Botanic Garden)
Dr Virginia Llado-Buisan (Bodleian Libraries)
Dr Gina Koutsika (Ashmolean)

The Round Table will link to interdisciplinary reflections sparked during previous Lectures in this series, and further expand on topics such as:

• What is the impact of new conservation theories and practices on the way objects are displayed? How does this affect audience engagement?
• What have we learned about the practice of decoloniality in museums? What are the most effective strategies that have emerged?
• How can museums effectively communicate issues surrounding materials in an increasingly digital environment?
• How can we harness the potential of AI and technology in cultural communication, and how can we use these tools responsibly?

The lecture can be watched live in the Tanner Room or joined online at the below Microsoft Teams link:
