The next meeting of the Heritage Reading Group will be 6th March at 12.30pm in 104, Student Common Room in the Old Mining Building (number 53 on the campus map).
All postgraduates and staff very welcome indeed.
We will be reading Laurajane Smith's '"Man’s inhumanity to man" and other platitudes of avoidance and misrecognition: an analysis of visitor responses to exhibitions marking the 1807 bicentenary' (Museum and Society, 8(3): 193-213) which explores visitor responses to exhibitions and displays developed as part of the bicentenary of the abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The discussion will be introduced by Helen Graham, School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies.
To facilitate staff and student access to the reading group texts we have set up a shared 'Community' on Elgg (Leeds' in house blogging site). The texts for the March meeting and all future groups will be posted here.

We hope to see you on 6th March,
Helen Graham and Nick Cass
