Permalink: https://www.eventscribe.com/2019/AAMers/fsPopup.asp?mode=presInfo&PresentationID=490159

Based on six years of studies, discover simple, powerful approaches for addressing issues of equity and cultural representation in exhibitions. These methods are drawn from the voices of people who find themselves represented by museums but often excluded from participation. Diverse museum professionals will share the impact of the studies on their projects, their thinking about community engagement and cultural representation in museums, and their application of engagement methods in non-museum contexts.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn key research findings about issues of representation, voice, and equity.
• Integrate new methods of equitable representation in your work.
• Adapt key insights about challenges and opportunities to effect institutional change.
