Ceramics in Mainland Southeast Asia

 

5:00 pm Pacific Daylight Time

8:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time

Webinar address http://connect.johnshopkins.edu/AsiaCeramicsForum

 

Join Louise Cort, Curator of Ceramics, Freer and Sackler Galleries, Smithsonian Institution for a Webinar

 

The website “Ceramics of Mainland Southeast Asia” (http://asia.si.edu/CeramicsForum), launched in December 2008, is already a valued online resource in a field where published scholarship is scarce. It allows specialists in ceramics, archaeology, anthropology and other fields free and on-demand access to the Sackler Gallery’s Hauge Collection of Southeast Asian Ceramics, unparalleled in the world for its size and diversity. An innovative feature, Field Notes, invites scholars and others to post attributed questions, comments and corrections, creating a worldwide community of scholarship on Southeast Asian ceramics.

 

On June 23, you, too, can be part of that community – either on-line or in-person.  In collaboration with the Johns Hopkins University Museum Studies program, please join us at 8:00 pm (EDT) at (http://connect.johnshopkins.edu/AsiaCeramicsForum) for a Webinar connecting interested participants around the world. Curator Louise Cort will host the interactive Webinar explaining the catalogue’s goals for serving an international virtual community and demonstrating its features, including many layers of scholarship. This webinar will be pertinent to anyone interested in Southeast Asia; ceramics; and the use of technology to deliver content, foster dialogue and create virtual communities. Guests are invited to participate by submitting their questions online.
