项目摘要

The knowledge exchange proposal draws directly from the Principal Investigator's British Academy Small Grant funded project (held in collaboration with Dr Pauline Leonard, University of Southampton) on the British in contemporary South Africa and will create a network of other leading social scientists, across disciplines such as Politics, Sociology, Geography and Anthropology, working on British emigration to diverse contexts such as Spain, France, Australia, Hong Kong, Dubai, Beijing and Thailand. The partnership with the Migration Museum Project (MMP) will bring together this diverse body of research and disseminate it to the general public. The MMP aims to create a national museum of migration and has members and associates who are key figures in the museum, policy, media, political and business sectors. The MMP faces a greater challenge in obtaining material about outward migration as most domestic collections at museums and heritage bodies focus on the history and contemporary dynamics of inward migration to the UK. It is also important to consider migration as a historical and ongoing dynamic and dual process of outward and inward migration. Knowledge transfer from social science academics to the MMP on this topic will therefore address and overcome this challenge. This partnership allows for maximum and ongoing public impact for the research. The programme would therefore create a knowledge exchange between academic communities and museum curators and educators, schools, cultural, policy and media communities and this will allow for academic research in this field to impact on wider public discourses and debates about migration. The objectives of the scheme are designed to achieve these outcomes in a focused way across a period of six months. Working with social scientists existing research and professional museum curators and cultural heritage practitioners, the project will deliver the following:-An academic/MMP workshop that will allow for knowledge exchange between social scientists and museum curators/cultural heritage practitioners and will be focused on how best to highlight research on the British diaspora and British emigration for a wider public audience. This will also create an academic/MMP network around the theme of the knowledge exchange programme.-The curation of an attractive and engaging online exhibition and learning resource focused on 'The British Diaspora: Histories, Lives and Identities of the British Abroad'. This will include case studies from different countries/regions, pictures, stories, podcasts and links to further research and resources. The online exhibition and learning resource will draw directly from existing social science research and reflects the different geographical, disciplinary and methodological approaches of the academic network.-A high profile public launch event of the online exhibition and learning resource, hosted by the MMP and held at the Royal Commonwealth Society (at the invitation of its director Dr Danny Sriskandarajah - who is also an MMP Board Member). This knowledge exchange scheme will form a lasting, creative and attractive resource for members of the public, media, museum and cultural heritage sector to consult and explore the history of British emigration, its impact on the world and the continuing dynamics of British emigration and lives abroad. Ultimately, it will inform any future MMP exhibitions on outward British migration and part of a future National Museum of Migration.

知识交流建议直接从主要研究者的英国学院小赠款资助项目（与南安普敦大学的Pauline Leonard博士合作举行），在当代南非的英国人上，将建立一个其他领先的社会科学家网络，跨越政治，社会学，地理学和人类学，诸如澳大利亚的范围，诸如Spiraim sprand，diverse fresss，diverse frange，Hang fresce，Hang fresce，Hang fance，Hang frese，Hang fande，Hang fresce，Hang frese，北京和泰国。与移民博物馆项目（MMP）的伙伴关系将汇集这一多样的研究机构，并将其传播给公众。 MMP旨在建立一个国家移民博物馆，并有成员和同事是博物馆，政策，媒体，政治和商业部门的关键人物。 MMP在获得外向移民的材料方面面临更大的挑战，因为博物馆和遗产机构的大多数国内收藏都集中在向英国移民的历史和当代动态上。将迁移视为一个历史和持续的动态和双重迁移过程，这也很重要。因此，知识从社会科学学者到MMP的知识转移将解决并克服这一挑战。这种伙伴关系允许对研究产生最大和持续的公众影响。因此，该计划将在学术社区与博物馆策展人和教育者，学校，文化，政策和媒体社区之间建立知识交流，这将使该领域的学术研究能够影响更广泛的公共话语和有关移民的辩论。该计划的目标旨在在六个月的时间内以重点的方式实现这些结果。该项目与社会科学家现有研究和专业博物馆策展人和文化遗产从业人员合作，将提供以下内容： - 一个学术/MMP研讨会，将允许社会科学家与博物馆策展人/文化遗产从业人员之间的知识交流，并将集中于更广泛的公众居民对英国透水岛和英国居民的最佳研究。这还将建立一个学术/MMP网络，围绕知识交流计划的主题。这是一个吸引人而引人入胜的在线展览和学习资源的策划，这些展览和学习资源的重点是“英国侨民：国外英国的历史，生活和身份”。这将包括来自不同国家/地区，图片，故事，播客以及进一步研究和资源的链接的案例研究。在线展览和学习资源将直接从现有的社会科学研究中汲取灵感，并反映了学术网络的不同地理，纪律和方法论方法。-由MMP主持的在线展览和学习资源的高调公共启动活动，并在皇家联邦协会（Royal Commonwealth Society）举行（应其导演Danny Sriskandarajah博士的邀请）。这项知识交流计划将构成持久，创造性和有吸引力的资源，供公众，媒体，博物馆和文化遗产部门成员咨询和探索英国移民的历史，对世界的影响以及英国移民和在国外的持续动态。最终，它将为未来的MMP展览提供有关向外移民的任何MMP展览，以及未来国家移民博物馆的一部分。
