Migration, Museums and Memorials<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Edinburgh: 11-13 February 2015<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In association with\u00a0NATIONAL MUSEUMS SCOTLAND<\/em><\/h3>\n

When, how, and why is Scotland\u2019s migration history represented in museums, galleries, and memorials and how does it compare with depictions of other movements including the Great Irish Famine, slavery, the holocaust, and refugee flows? How might Scottish portrayals of migration, at home and abroad, be influenced by representations of other migrant flows? What aspects of the Scottish migrant experience remain forgotten? How might scholarly interpretations influence museum practice and vice versa?<\/p>\n
