The students of the UCLA/Getty Master’s Program in the
Conservation of Archaeological and Ethnographic Materials invite you to the
first annual:
Graduate
Symposium for Students of Conservation and Preservation (GSSCP)
This is a half-day,
student-run symposium for graduate students of conservation, preservation,
heritage studies, and related fields to be held on the UCLA Campus in Los
Angeles, CA on April 27, 2013.1 This symposium aims to encourage a
conference of ideas, experiences, and observations between different fields
engaged in the promotion and management of cultural properties, sites,
materials, and values.
Graduate-level students
of conservation, preservation, heritage studies, and/or related fields are
invited to submit a 300-word abstract for a proposed 20-minute paper,
presentation, lecture, or demonstration.
Videos or short films will also be considered.
We invite you to
address our inaugural theme for this event: ‘Two steps forward’
This theme is meant to
evoke projected goals or expectations of our respective fields, the
relationship between them, and the process of learning on
which we base these forecasts. The theme
encompasses proposals for improvement, as well as experiences of navigating —
or even articulating — the unique limitations and challenges of investing in
cultural heritage.
Expressions of this
theme may include how errors, setbacks, and limits of intervention have been
addressed within your field; proposed adjustments to existing methodologies;
the development or amendment of decision-making processes; case studies that
re-interpret or evaluate our fields’ goals; and topics for collaboration
between the fields of heritage preservation, conservation, and allied
professionals.
Please submit your 300-word
abstract to gsscp.2013@gmail.com by January 14th. Submit abstracts as a .doc or .pdf and
include your name, program affiliation, and a brief (100 words or less)
statement on your particular interests and background within your field of
study. Selected participants will be
notified by February 6th.
This symposium is free
and open to the public. All attendees
are encouraged to participate in the discussion.
1 The timing of the symposium coincides with
the final day of the Association of North American Graduate Programs in
Conservation (ANAGPIC) Annual Meeting, held at the Getty Villa and UCLA from
April 25- 27, 2013.
