This week I’ve sat on a panel at two Zoom sessions as part of the Fair Museum Jobs Careers Summit. If you haven’t heard of Fair Museum Jobs (FMJ) take a look here.

“Fair Museum Jobs is a grass roots, collective movement. Our objective is to establish a better standard (‘The Manifesto’) for museum job recruitment based on these principles of fairness, transparency, equity and inclusivity. We believe recruitment based on these principles is fundamental to creating a museum sector that is resilient, relevant and representative of all society.”

The FMJ team is made up of six individuals working in the sector and this week they have been joined by lots of speakers for an amazingly wide range of sessions for their Fair Museum Jobs Careers Summit.

I have been excited to join two of the panel discussions as a speaker - firstly on Making your application processes fairer & more accessible, and secondly What’s it like to work in museum learning? I am also attending two of the sessions to listen to the speakers - one on Unions in the heritage sector, and the other on Anti-racism in museum recruitment.

Most of the sessions will be available as recordings online at a future time so keep an eye open on their website #FMJSummit
