SBS 326S - Museums in the Public Sphere
In recent years, historical societies and museums have proven increasingly essential sites for study, research and debate. Ethnographic collections have in turn evolved into invaluable repositories for community study and formal research into cross-cultural encounters for Indigenous peoples and diaspora communities the world over. This course will review issues and practices in the collection and study of material culture and the representation of community cultural histories through participatory engagement. Students pursue community partnerships bearing on representation, advocacy, community consultation, and museums as sources of cultural identity and revitalization.
