The “Afterlife” of Heritage Research Developing ECRs’ skills for the transition from academia to public, profession and business Dr. Emily Bannister artsmethods@manchester emily.bannister@manchester.ac.uk
Aims & Objectives • AHRC Skills Development Award 2011 • A collaboration between the Institute of Cultural Practices (ICP), artsmethods@manchester, the University of Salford and NW Cultural Partners • A development package which aims to enable ECRs to identify, understand and “translate” the benefits of their research in real-life contexts of the heritage and cultural sectors
Three Pathways • Research-to-public – the public impact of ECRs’ research and its “translation” into audience-orientated outputs e.g. events, conferences and performances • Research-to-profession – to gain experience of the range and requirements of entry routes into heritage professions • Research-to-Business – build on their research ideas and outcomes to develop business, freelancing and consultancy profiles
In Practice… • Tailored workshops and training guides • Collaborative public-oriented projects with cultural institutions • Work placements • Industrial mentoring • Reflective practice – blogging, social media • Complimentary workshops offered through artsmethods@manchester
Partner Organisations • Institute for Cultural Practices (ICP) • University of Salford, Heritage area • artsmethods@manchester • Manchester Museum • Whitworth Art Gallery • Manchester Beacon • Renaissance North West
Participation • Aspects of programme available to ECRs from across the UK (industrial mentors and work placements for NW only) • c.70 ECRs to benefit directly • Research disciplines to include: heritage studies, art gallery and museum studies, conservation science, archaeology, architectural and building history, cultural and digital heritage, collection care and management, arts and heritage management
