Permalink: https://www.eventscribe.com/2018/AAMers/fsPopup.asp?mode=presInfo&PresentationID=355421

From exhibitions to programming to governance to funding, issues of equity will continue to challenge us personally and professionally. As the museum industry comes under increasing  scrutiny about policies surrounding race, diversity, inclusion, and representation, we take this opportunity to reflect on events from the past year to celebrate excellence, challenge mistakes, and identify opportunities for continued growth.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn about recent research, events, exhibitions, and programs related to museums, race, and professional practice.
• Become better able to think critically about the impact of race on issues of representation, interpretive narrative, public programming, and institutional funding and governance.
• Become better able to identify and respond to issues associated with race and museum practice within your institution and the industry.
