**Deadline 2008-11-14** On behalf of the Conference Organising Committee, we would like to inform you of the: **SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE INCLUSIVE MUSEUM**, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, 8-11 July 2009 At this time of fundamental social change, what is the role of the museum, both as a creature of that change, and perhaps also as an agent of change? The International Conference on the Inclusive Museum is a place where museum practioners, researchers, thinkers and teachers can engage in discussion on the historic character and future shape of the museum. The key question of the Conference is 'How can the institution of the museum become more inclusive?' As well as impressive line-up of international main speakers, the Conference will also include numerous paper, workshop and colloquium presentations by practitioners, teachers and researchers. We would particularly like to invite you to respond to the Conference Call-for-Papers. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for publication in the fully refereed International Journal of the Inclusive Museum. If you are unable to attend the Conference in person, virtual registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for refereeing and possible publication in this fully refereed academic Journal, as well as access to the electronic version of the Conference proceedings. The deadline for the next round in the call for papers (a title and short abstract) is 14 November 2008. Future deadlines will be announced on the Conference website after this date. Proposals are reviewed within two weeks of submission. Full details of the Conference, including an online proposal submission form, are to be found at the Conference website - [|http://www.Museum-Conference.com] Garance Marechal

Hi Aacorners, I would like to know if anyone in the Aacorn network is dealing with the similar themes to my field of interest. I'm an artist who set up a small call centre in Belgrade, Serbia in 2006. Since then, parallel to its regular daily business, I have been producing short films addressing issues of transparency, ethics and social impact in the off-shore call centre field. If you have a few spare moments, you can view 2 films at: http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/Mark%2BBrogan Regards, Mark Brogan

Tango and Art friends Based on some preliminary communications, I have been "formally invited" to develop a full proposal for an All-Academy Symposium for the 2008 Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management in Anaheim CA Aug 11-13. The Academy of Management is the world's largest academic society of management and business professors. Title of the Symposium is "Asking Different Questions - Creating Passionate Organizations" The original proposal was as follows: The questions that Organizational scholars have been asking for the last half century all deal with how to make organizations more rational and more productive in an instrumental sense. They have not used aesthetic inquiry, gained sensory embodied and tacit knowledge that can make organizations more passionate, artistic, beautiful and happy. Passion is denounced and belittled as being a dangerous, risky, "irrational", crazed and an extremist tendency, best avoided by managers and organizations. Ironically, we also know that no great human feat was ever accomplished without passion. This symposium will focus on the role of passion in organizations. Passion cannot just be "explained" intellectually, it must be experienced with body, mind, and emotions. Such embodied understanding can be achieved through many visual and performing art forms. Argentine Tango (AT) music, dance and culture epitomize passion. This symposium offers an opportunity for participants to understand and experience managing with passion using AT. It will review concepts of passion and embodied learning. We will explore how AT can teach organizationally relevant skills of improvisation, leadership, teamwork, communication, and community building. This will be followed by an Argentine Tango dance performance by three couples, followed by a brief discussion and Q/A on uses of passion in organizations. My hope is that participants will learn about passion in an embodied way and this will prompt them to start asking different questions about organizations and organizing. I am looking for 3 Tango dancer couples in Anaheim, CA who may be willing to join this symposium. If you know of Tango dancers who may be able to help, please drop me a line. Thanks in advance. Paul Shrivastava, Ph.D.
