Ross Parry will be coming to speak at the Bard Graduate Center as part of the New Media Seminar Series on Wednesday, January 28, 2015. His talk is entitled “The Postdigital Museum.” He will discuss how digital technology has become normative in museums, pervasive in many ways, and about what that means for museum strategies and structures. Dr. Parry is a College Academic Director and Senior Lecturer in the School of Museum Studies at the University of Leister. He teaches n the areas of information management, digitization, web, mobile and in-gallery interactivity. Much of this teaching attempts to historicize and theorize the development and implementation of digital media in the museum and culture sector. He co-teaches an option called ‘Digital Media and Curatorship.”

Dr. Parry’s research focuses on Digital Heritage, specifically, the proximity of digital media to the construction of knowledge in heritage settings. His work has been characterized by its emphasis on collaboration and Knowledge Exchange between the heritage sector and commercial organizations. Publications include the book ‘Recoding the Museum: digital heritage and technologies of change’ (Routledge 2007), which was the first major history of museum computing, and his more recent edited volume ‘Museums in a Digital Age’ (Routledge 2010) which forges a curriculum and subject focus for a credible academic subject area of Digital Heritage.

This looks super interesting for the students who are participating in the Digital Collections project over at HASTAC Scholars. Will the talk be livestreamed by any chance?

[Kimon Keramidas]

Yes it should be. Look for it in the page I linked to in the original announcement.

Thank you, Kimon! I wrote to the email address and asked, since it mentions an overflow room, but no publicly available livestream!
