This is the first workshop from the new AHRC-funded research network, Making Museum Professionals, 1850-the present. The network brings together academics and museum professionals to investigate the past, present and future of museum work. We seek to support and develop campaigns for fairness, inclusion and transparency in the museum sector by investigating the historical roots of the museum professions and the structures that supported them, from the birth of the modern museum (c. 1850) to the present day. Keynotes: Dr Errol Francis (Artistic Director and CEO, Culture&), Professor Fiona Candlin (Birkbeck), Louise McAward-White, Fair Museum Jobs
