It examines current practices, techniques, theories and methodologies of engaging with memory in the museum industry and applies this in the context of Vietnam. The course comprises of a series of one-day workshops based in Hanoi and Danang (with two one-day tours) and considers: theoretical approaches to memory and history; frameworks and methods for engaging with memory in a museological context; case studies and analysis of museums working with memory and with multiple audiences; working with memory in the form of narratives, objects and photographs; diversifying audiences through the use of memory; as well as specific local factors in dealing with museums from a South-East Asian perspective.
