Call for case studies: work with the deaf community
Rebecca Atkinson, 05.01.2012
Tell Museum Practice readers how your museum is working with visitors with hearing loss
The February edition of Museum Practice examines how museums can work with visitors who are deaf or have hearing loss – with an opportunity for museums to submit their own case studies.
The issue looks at how museums can become more inclusive environments for members of the deaf community, and the use of BSL, subtitles and transcripts within exhibition interpretation. There is also an accessibility checklist and information on how to train staff.
Museums and galleries can submit their own case studies to feature in Your Case Studies – the place where organisations can explain what they are doing in a particular area.
Case studies should be no more than 250 words and could cover: recent educational or outreach work; deaf-led tours; handheld guides; and subtitles.
You can read other examples of reader-submitted case studies in the Your Case Studies section of Museum Practice.
Please email your case studies and relevant photographs to rebecca.atkinson@museumsassociation.org
Museum Practice reserves the right to edit copy to ensure it meets editorial standards and style. Not all submitted case studies may be used.
