Are you currently working on a major paper, dissertation, or thesis on any
aspect of museum education or interpretation? Do you know someone who is?

If so, MUSEUM EDUCATION MONITOR (MEM), the monthly e-newsletter, would like
to list the work in our upcoming April 2009 issue. We welcome listings by
museum workers, consultants, faculty, and students at all levels of study.
To assist these research efforts, MEM continues to offer a free introductory
one-year subscription to any student in a museum education-related course or
Program. Visit http://www.mccastle.com/Public/MEM.aspx for details.

To share research or evaluation with others around the world, just send an
e-mail to [log in to unmask] that includes:

- how the data will be presented
- principal researcher(s)/ evaluator(s)

To see labels from past listings, sign in to the MEM blog, "FORUM:
