5. DOCOMOMO / Australia ICOMOS / AIA NSW Chapter – Sydney Talk Series (24 September)
Implementation of the new UNESCO Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape in Asia
presented by Ron van Oers (PhD), Vice Director, (WHITRAP**), Shanghai, China
After a policy process that lasted 6 years, UNESCO’s General Conference adopted on 10 November 2011 the Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape, a new international instrument that aims to facilitate the integration of the different disciplines for the analysis and planning of the urban conservation process, in order not to separate it from the planning and development of the contemporary city. At its adoption the General Conference requested to be informed of the countries and cities that have been working with this new instrument, its usefulness and the first results. UNESCO Headquarters in Paris has decentralized this important task to WHITRAP in Shanghai, which will take the lead in assembling a comprehensive report to UNESCO’s General Conference, which is due for October 2017, with regular updates before that to its Executive Board.

10. New post-graduate degrees in arts and museum studies at USyd
The University of Sydney (USyd) has launched five new postgraduate degrees including a Masters of Art Curating and a Masters of Museum and Heritage Studies.
The courses, which are between 18 and 24 months in length, have been developed through extensive industry research.
‘These new master’s programs are a clear commitment to providing students with an outstanding educational experience and the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and hone their skills,’ said Professor Duncan Ivison, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
The Master of Art Curating is the first of its kind in Australia. The course is collaboratively designed and taught by the Department of Art History and Film Studies and the Sydney College of the Arts. The course aims to prepare students for a career in art curation or as a gallery professional, and has a focus on non-traditional art spaces such as pop-up galleries and festivals. The course also offers the option of two structured internship placements.
‘We’ll teach both on campus and in museums and galleries, giving graduates exposure to leaders in the field and valuable industry contacts,’ says program coordinator Dr Catriona Moore.
The Masters of Museum and Heritage studies will utilise the University of Sydney’s ties with Art Gallery of NSW, the Australian Museum, the National Maritime Museum, the Historic Houses Trust and the Powerhouse Museum. The course will look at the management and conservation of objects and heritage places.
‘It is designed to equip our graduates with professional and practical knowledge and experience,’ says Dr Annie Clarke, program coordinator of the Master of Museum and Heritage Studies. ‘All of the things you will learn in this course have real-life applications in the world of museums and the growing area of local and global heritage.’
The university also launched a Master of English Studies in which students will study the relevance of literature in society today. The course also includes electives only previously available to those studying creative writing studies such as contemporary poetry, fiction, and screenwriting.
The University of Sydney’s Arts and Social Sciences Faculty has been ranked among the top 40 faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences in the world by the Times Higher Education and QS Leagues table from 2006-2012.
Also launched were the Masters of Economic Analysis and the Masters of International Relations. For more information on any of the courses visit the University of Sydney’s new degree page.

11. The International Journal of Intangible Heritage – call for submissions
The International Journal of Intangible Heritage (IJIH) was first published in 2006 in response to the rapidly growing academic and professional interest in intangible heritage, particularly following the widespread ratification by States in all parts of the world of UNESCO’s 2003 International Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. The IJIH is a refereed academic and professional English language journal dedicated to the promotion of the understanding of all aspects of intangible heritage, and the communication of research and examples of good professional practice.
The Journal is published as an annual volume, typically of between 120 and 160 pages with full colour illustrations, in both print (2000 copies) and free PDF download formats. Thanks to generous support from the Government of the Republic of Korea, there is no authors’ page or colour illustration charge, and Korea also supports fully both the wide-ranging international Editorial Board and all aspects of the editorial and publishing process through the National Folk Museum of Korea. However, it should be stressed that the IJIH is very much global in scope with authors for Vol. 8 (2013) drawn from Afghanistan, Barbados, Cameroon, Germany, Japan, Korea, Spain, the United States and Wales (UK).
The first international academic journal of its kind in the field, the IJIH is indexed by the International Bibliography of Social Sciences (IBSS), the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (A & HCI), Scopus, the Modern Language Association International Bibliography (MLAIB), the Bibliography of Asian Studies (BAS) and the Korean Citation Index (KCI).
Proposals for contributions to future volumes of the Journal are actively sought from professionals and specialists across the world. Main papers are normally between 4,000 and 8,000 words in length with short papers, reports and reviews of between 2,000 and 4,000 words. Papers must be submitted in English and authors are responsible for their translation. Papers can be submitted at any time, though only those received by or before 15th December each year can be refereed in time for the annual early February meeting of the full Editorial Board and, if accepted, included in the next annual volume which will be published in June of the same year.
Submission of your article is only available via the official website.
Volumes 1 – 8 (2006 – 2013) are also accessible online in PDF format.
Review dates for the IJIH Vol. 9
1st: 15 June / 2nd: 15 September / 3rd: 15 December
Authors will be informed of the referees’ recommendation (whether or not the submitted paper has been accepted for publication) following the final decision of the Editorial Board by end of February 2014.

18. Museums Australia (WA) conference, Fremantle – registration open
Museums Australia (WA) State Conference
Through the Door
3-4 October 2013
Fremantle
Registration is now open for the Museums Australia (WA) State Conference taking place on Thursday 3 and Friday 4 October at the University of Notre Dame, Fremantle.
The annual state conference is the highlight of our professional development calendar. The conference offers a variety of presentation formats and networking opportunities.
This year we focus on the museum as public space: issues involved with the creation of an enticing, user-friendly and informative environment, enabling tangible connections between audience and collection. Those issues can include relevance, accessibility, presentation and the provision of authentic contexts.
The conference agenda will explore ways of enhancing the visitor experience by looking at what museums do well: for example they offer valuable informal environments where families and friends can meet, linger and learn; and they house a treasure trove of primary source material both historical and contemporary. Museums can lead the way in strengthening the ownership of a communal heritage, in celebrating human endeavour and drawing attention to extraordinary objects and events. Perhaps, most importantly – museums can encourage their audiences to discuss and question the existing ways in which we view our world.
Increasingly, opportunities for creating great museum spaces lie in the critical connectivity between museums and society: building networks through collaboration; using a contextual approach to exhibition development by immersing collections and exhibitions within community interests, events and activities; and harnessing the continuing pressure of popular cultural trends on the contemporary museum environment.
