CRN: 41029

What is the significance of museums today and how do they shape the experiences of diverse communities? Through readings and discussions about the history and changing roles of museums, museum visits, local case studies, and other reflective projects, this course will critically explore what learning science, history, art, and more might look like in museums and other cultural institutions. By looking at what learning might look like in these spaces, we can further understand and appreciate museums as spaces for observation, meaning-making, reflection, inquiry, as well as creative and critical thinking. We will also interrogate the complexities of the museum world by looking at current issues museums face as well as explore professional pathways within the field.<\/p>\n
