Museums and museum studies in Aotearoa New Zealand: A survey of history, theory, politics and professional practice

讲座摘要

This lecture surveys the history of museums and galleries in Aotearoa New Zealand from the colonial period to the present. The development of museums has drawn on our British roots but is increasingly open to global influences from the Americas and Asia Pacific. Today GLAMs in this small but country are dynamic, innovative and diverse, examples par excellence of the ‘new museology’. I consider complex issues such as decolonisation, indigenisation, and repatriation as they affect contemporary museum practice and the teaching of museum and heritage studies. In particular the lecture describes the transformation of European model of museums in response to Māori culture. Despite ongoing challenges, we have seen in recent decades the transformation of the museum sector, the emergence of indigenous academic pedagogy in universities through kaupapa Māori methodology, and a national reckoning with a difficult past through the Waitangi Tribunal.

How has this changing museum landscape and national political context shaped the teaching of museum and heritage studies in universities? To answer this question I examine the development of courses within one university master’s degree. Over the period 2005-2020 this course has changed often in response to professional trends, student needs, technology, administrative constraints and academic debates. Describing the course content, structure and delivery, particularly the focus on work integrated learning, I reflect on the focus on professional practice, and the philosophical shift to Māori agency and determination. While touching on the theoretical literature, I show the practical ways in which Māori community values, perspectives and practices have been incorporated into museum practice, and how this in turn has affected the teaching of this course which aims to prepare graduates to work in a dynamic and changing sector. In doing so, I ask how an integrated cycle of teaching, research, professional development and training can in turn challenge and transform museology.
