We are pleased to announce that our 2024 Heritage Symposium, Intersections, will be held on Friday, October 18, 2024 at the MacBride Museum of Yukon History in Whitehorse. Join YHMA for a chance to meet new colleagues and catch up with old ones, be inspired by new ideas and trends, and share knowledge and standards of practice. Registration will be free of charge and include lunch and refreshments.
YHMA is currently seeking proposals for presentations. Case studies, theory-based talks, roundtable discussions, and other formats are welcome – we encourage you to think outside the box! A maximum length of 20 minutes applies to most presentations; group-based, discussion-focused sessions may be up to 45 minutes in length.
Proposals addressing the event theme are strongly encouraged, but if you have an idea for a presentation you’d like to share, please get in touch – we are open to all ideas, provided they have some connection or relevance to Yukon heritage and/or the Yukon heritage sector.
Theme: Intersections
Heritage doesn’t stand on its own. It intersects with many other aspects of our lives and surroundings, whether tangible or intangible. Some intersections are inherent, while others may arise through partnerships, the application of external techniques or ideas, and other conscious decisions. Identity, culture, art, tourism, climate action, science, self-determination, the non-profit sector, government, and more: all are connected to heritage. Even within heritage, different aspects both intersect and diverge. Together, we will explore these intersections at the 2024 Yukon Heritage Symposium.
