Visitor Studies Group – Summer School Conference 2008
Seen but not heard!
Listening to children's voices in visitor studies
10th Anniversary VSG Summer School
Chester Zoo, North of England Zoological Society
18 & 19 September 2008
Children as both formal and free choice learners make up a large segment of audiences in museums and living collections. Through a series of presentations and workshops the 2008 VSG Summer School will focus on how to glean valid and reliable data from children.
During the 2008 Summer School we will also be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the VSG, which held it's inaugural meeting in November 1998.
Speakers include:
- Professor Cedric Cullingford, School of Education and Professional Development, University of Huddersfield (Keynote)
- Jocelyn Dodd, Research Centre for Museums and Galleries, University of Leicester
- Nicola Jagger & Time Seal, Centre of the Cell
- Gina Koutsike, Natural History Museum, London
- Andrew McIntyre, Morris Hargreaves McIntyre
- Reinaldo Neibles Barranquilla Zoo, Colombia
- Hannah Shepherd, Freelance Consultant
- Teresa Teizeira, Audience Research and Advocay Team, The Science Museum, London
The summer school will also offer a series of workshops across the two days, a 'Marketplace of Ideas' and a plenary session. On the Thursday evening we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary with a Zoo Safari, celebration dinner and some speeches.
The evening is kindly sponsored by SNAP Surveys, managing all aspects of survey work and supported by a powerful, intuitive Windows-based programme for questionnaire design, publishing, data collection and analysis.
