@MuseumsNow Retrospective Ph.Ds on projects, exhibitions and published work already delivered is a way forward to curators and museum profs

[Matt hick @Grubsup69]

@lfcrossley @claire_l_jones @alexwoodall a 3 year undergrad course certainly gives more time to cover all areas thoroughly

[Matt hick @Grubsup69]

@lfcrossley @claire_l_jones @alexwoodall I agree. Although I think there are difficulties in striking an adequate balance on a 1 year course

[Matt hick @Grubsup69]

@claire_l_jones meant 2 type not paying expenses does restrict acess...gr8 day 2day really interesting discussions

[Matt hick @Grubsup69]

@Claire_L_Jones I think it does restrict diversity. Although we do try & address this by working with agencies like interserve.

[Matt hick @Grubsup69]

Museum studies, should it be theory or practice led? It has to b practice 4 me #museumsnow

[Matt hick @Grubsup69]

@Claire_L_Jones museums shud pay volunteer expenses but when the struggle 2 pay their staff properly it's v.difficult #museumsnow

[Matt hick @Grubsup69]

@lfcrossley @alexwoodall but how do you propose to adequately teach the broad range of skills needed in a 1 year course? #museumsnow

[Iain Watson OBE @iainawatson]

@MuseumsNow enjoying the debate. Particularly thinking about the need to be broad and interdisciplinary in our approach

[Iain Watson OBE @iainawatson]

@alexwoodall @museumsnow yes I agree we must avoid mission drift. I think we could benefit from additional approaches in delivering vision
