This project will examine the politics of Second World War display and audience engagement and interpretation at IWM London. Its overall aimis to explore the changing landscapes of remembrance, commemoration and memory of the Second World War in Britain in both a recent-historical andcontemporary context. The project will trace the successive phases of permanent and temporary exhibitions that have taken place at IWM London since the endof the conflict in 1945. It will deliver a critical analysis of IWM's programme of Second World War exhibitions, events and related public activities. In documentingthe evolving process of Second World War display over the last 50 years, the project will uncover how memory and commemorative practices have changedalongside myriad cumulative cultural influences. This analysis draws from, and engages with, existing work both on the development of museological pedagogy,as well as debates concerning the heritage and commemoration of war. By analysing each decade of exhibition and audience- development activity, the projecttraces a history of public engagement with the Second World War. It is also provides an opportunity to explore the future direction and meaning of the landscapeof remembrance and commemoration. As the national war museum and a leading commemorative site, IWM London continues to play a fundamental role inchannelling and interpreting this emerging field of cultural memory. The project will, therefore, also undertake an examination both of IWM's own preparations ofnew, permanent Second World War galleries. This studentship follows on from the previous Collaborative Doctoral Award on 'Remembrance, Commemorationand Memory: Negotiating the Imperial War Museum's First World War Exhibitions, 1964 - 2014', which began at IWM London in 2011. This partnership with theUniversity of Exeter contextually analysed the museum's permanent and temporary First World War exhibitions over a fifty year period. It is intended that thisstudentship will follow a similar trajectory but with reference to the Second World War, and that the student will be able to support IWM's future programming in asimilar capacity

这个项目将研究第二次世界大战的政治展示，以及IWM伦敦分会的观众参与和解读。它的总体目的是在近代历史和当代背景下探索英国对第二次世界大战的纪念、纪念和记忆的变化情况。该项目将追溯自1945年冲突结束以来在IWM伦敦举办的永久性和临时性展览的连续阶段。它将对IWM的第二次世界大战展览、活动和相关公共活动计划进行批判性分析。在记录过去50年第二次世界大战展览的演变过程中，该项目将揭示记忆和纪念做法是如何随着无数累积的文化影响而变化的。这一分析借鉴并涉及博物馆学教育学发展方面的现有工作，以及关于战争遗产和纪念的辩论。通过分析每十年的展览和受众发展活动，该项目追溯了公众参与第二次世界大战的历史。它还为探索纪念和纪念景观的未来方向和意义提供了机会。作为国家战争博物馆和主要的纪念场所，IWM伦敦继续在引导和解释这一新兴的文化记忆领域发挥着重要作用。因此，该项目还将对IWM自己准备的第二次世界大战永久性新画廊进行审查。该项目是继2011年在伦敦IWM举办的《纪念、纪念和记忆：谈判帝国战争博物馆的第一次世界大战展览，1964-2014》博士奖合作奖的基础上设立的。这次与埃克塞特大学的合作分析了该博物馆50年来的永久性和临时性的第一次世界大战展览。这个项目的目的是让学生走上类似的路线，但要参考第二次世界大战，并且学生将能够以类似的身份支持IWM未来的计划
