Külalisloengud II maailmasõja „tumedast” pärandist Lapimaal, kodanikuteadusest Soome arheoloogias ning muuseumide külastajauuringute läbiviimise metoodikatest 31. märts – 2. aprill
UUS! Seoses 12.03.2020 Vabariigi Valitsuse kehtestatud eriolukorra ja auditoorse õppetöö keeluga jäävad külalisloengud ära.
Suzie Thomas (Helsingi ülikooli kultuuripärandi uuringute dotsent) peab etnoloogia osakonna külalisena Tartus kolm külalisloengut. Huvilised on oodatud!
Suzie Thomas kaitses doktorikraadi 2009. aastal Newcastle ülikooli kultuuri- ja pärandiuuringute rahvusvahelise keskuse juures tööga, kus uuris arheoloogide ja detektoristide vahelisi suhteid Inglismaal ja Walesis. Asjaarmastajate suhe pärandiga, nn tume ja keeruline pärand ning kultuuriväärtustega seotud kuriteod on jäänudki tema uurijahuvi keskseteks teemadeks.
Suzie Thomas on ajakirja Journal of Community Archaeology and Heritage asutaja ning Soome Teaduste Akadeemia projekti FindSampo/SuALT juhtteadur.
Teisipäeval 31. märtsil kl 12.15 loeng „Visitor Studies and exhibition evaluation: some thoughts“.
Loengu toimumiskoht: Ülikooli 16–109.
In this lecture I will talk about some of the most popular methods that museum staff and museum studies researchers use to evaluate exhibitions and visitor experiences of them. These include both formative and summative approaches, and draw upon different sources of data including the exhibition itself, peer-to-peer evaluations, analysis of related “artefacts” such as press releases, meeting minutes and educational resources, and more standard visitor feedback formats such as questionnaire surveys and interviews. I hope during the presentation that audience members will share their own experiences and ideas on how to evaluate museum exhibitions and visitor experiences, and will open the discussion up to a wider and open forum.

Kolmapäeval 1. aprillil kl 12.15 loeng „Lapland's Dark Heritage: The material and immaterial legacy of the Second World War in Finnish Lapland”.
Loengu toimumiskoht: Ülikooli 16–104.
Lapland’s Dark Heritage (2014–2018) was an Academy of Finland-funded project that employed multidisciplinary perspective to investigate the impact of the Second World War in Finnish Lapland for local communities. We focused on the villages of Vuotso and Inari, and the city of Rovaniemi. We employed archaeological survey and excavation (in the context of a public archaeology approach), ethnological theories and methods, museological research, and digital ethnography. In this presentation I highlight some of our key findings, surprises that we encountered. I also discuss the legacy of the project in terms of its impact on local tourism and heritage developments, and outline follow-on research that is now in development.

Neljapäeval 2. aprillil kl 14.15 loeng „FindSampo: Citizen Science enhancing Finnish Archaeology“.
Loengu toimumiskoht: Ülikooli 16–109.
In 2017, a new project started in Helsinki, involving researchers and managers from the University of Helsinki, Aalto University and the Finnish Heritage Agency (Museovirasto). Their goal is to create a semantic portal and citizen science platform for members of the public – especially metal detectorists – to report archaeological finds that they discover. Alongside the technical challenges of making a resource that is not only fit for purpose but also links effectively to existing cultural heritage databases, it is vital that future users – archaeologists, curators and of course the wider public – can also use it in ways that are useful to them. Furthermore it should reference similar schemes in other countries where metal detecting is legal, such as Denmark, the UK and the Netherlands. The project has thus been very multidisciplinary in its approach, and in this talk I present our progress so far.
