Robin Boast (born 2 March 1956) is the Professor of Information Science and Culture at the University of Amsterdam, Department of Media Studies. Until the end of 2012 he was the Deputy Director and Curator for World Archaeology at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge ((MAA )). He teaches on Cultural Information Science, Neo-colonial information governance, and the history and sociology of digitally and collecting. He has been a Visiting Professor at the European University Institute in Florence Italy, a Scientific Advisor for several EU projects, and was the Director of the Virtual Teaching Collection Project. Dr. Boast has worked in museums in the US and Britain for over 30 years, specializing in museum access, classification and documentation, especially around diverse knowledge communities. Through a program of historical, theoretical and practical inquiry, his research explores forms of informed, collaborative and critical access to museum spaces and collections. Dr. Boast is currently working with many indigenous communities around the world that seek to enable and re-centre the many dimensions of local knowledge expertise within the academy – research informed by the critiques of the Sociology of Scientific Knowledge, Post-colonial studies, Indigenous Studies and collaborative developments in e-Science. Dr. Boast has worked for several years on an international research project which subjects the museum and the academy to the ethnographic gaze of indigenous partners to de-centre the ownership and control of research of indigenous patrimony. His most recent work has been with source community museums and heritage organizations with Dr. Ramesh Srinivasan and Mr. James Enote, primarily at the A:shiwi A:wan Museum & Heritage Center in Zuni, New Mexico (USA). ==Publications== * Boast, Robin (2011) Neocolonial Collaboration: Museum as Contact Zone Revisited.
