Digitalt seminar: Weaving theory and practice; young children in museums

Weaving theory and practice; young children in museums

Av Abigail Hackett, Sheffield Hallam University

When observing what children do in museums (sometimes predictable, sometimes completely surprising!) researchers and museum educators find themselves drawing together theory and practice to ask different versions of the same question: what does that mean? Good theories should make sense in the everyday. They should become illuminated, transformed and made to shimmer more vibrantly by practice. In Working with Young Children in Museums, we introduced and explored post-qualitative theories that seemed to do this. In this seminar, I will talk about my journey moving between, or weaving together, childhood theory and museum practice, and introduce some of the key themes from this research, relating to objects, place and time.
