Permalink: https://www.eventscribe.com/2019/AAMers/fsPopup.asp?mode=presInfo&PresentationID=526130

The concept of “gender neutrality” has attempted to bridge the gender divide but still skews masculine, even in a female-dominated sphere like the museum field. Session participants will learn to recognize implicit bias, grapple with the myth of gender neutrality, and consider six principles of feminine design for exhibitions.

Learning Objectives:

• Engage more critically with the concept of “gender neutral.”
• Identify feminine design traits in exhibition design and museum architecture.
• Utilize the principles of feminine design to intentionally create museum spaces that are more welcoming for people of all gender expressions.
