SUMMARY:Learning from History at The Henry Ford – Two Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Museums at Noon conversation! \nTitle:  Learning from History at The Henry Ford – Two Perspectives \nDate:  Friday\, October 9 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  Online via Zoom (Meeting ID: 930 4573 8463 / Passcode 103356) \nPresenters: \n\nBradley L. Taylor (Associate Director Emeritus\, Museum Studies Program)\nCalder Fong (PhD\, Germanic Languages and Literatures)\n\nReconstructing History/Reimagining Originality: The Case of Henry Ford’s English Preservations (Bradley Taylor) \nAs the Stock Market Crash of 1929 was about to plunge the world into the Great Depression\, Henry Ford was putting finishing touches on an outdoor museum of historic structures known today as Greenfield Village.  Ford’s interest in preserving old buildings on site had existed for years but this assemblage of structures moved from other parts of the country was something few had seen before.  Ford and his team thus led an effort to preserve in a way that offered little precedent upon which to draw. \nThe presentation showcases Ford’s efforts to rescue three English structures—a retail store\, a home\, and a forge—and finds that the stories of these three preservations lead us to new ways of considering deeply held assumptions about the nature of “originality” and “authenticity.” \n  \nThe Deluxe Engine: Lessons from the Life of an Industrial Heritage Object at The Henry Ford (Calder Fong) \nCan a single object tell the story of an entire museum? Join Calder on a journey through time and space\, as he accompanies an 1887 Crossley Bros. internal combustion engine through the departments of The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. Encounter Henry Ford as an early pioneer of urbexing\, and discover a transnational network of engineers and their museums. Survey the wide range of disciplines that assemble to make The Henry Ford work! And of course\, learn the secret to taking care of your very own Deluxe Engine. \nTaylor&Fong_BrownBag_FINAL

SUMMARY:Growing Protocols: Documenting the Collaborative Process within the Heritage Seeds for Sustainable Lifeways Project
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Elspeth Geiger\, PhD candidate\, Anthropology \nFriday\, September 29 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm\, UM Museum of Art auditorium \n  \nGrowing Protocols: Documenting the Collaborative Process within the Heritage Seeds for Sustainable Lifeways Project \nCollaboration between museums and Native American communities has overwhelmingly centered on either museum exhibitions or legally-mandated processes such as those based on the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The Heritage Seeds for Sustainable Lifeways project departs from these types of collaborative efforts by focusing on creating protocols and relationships surrounding University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology (UMMAA) plant collections. The project works to bring a broad range of individuals from university settings and Tribal communities into conversation over their shared interest in the collections. \nThis presentation will explore my experience with the Heritage Seeds Project through my practicum at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens. As a result of my documentation of the information sharing and planning sessions\, we can examine the processes behind the creation of collaborative frameworks. This experience provided me great insight on the kinds of reciprocal relationships that surround museum collections. \n  \nThis presentation is co-sponsored by the UM Museum of Anthropological Archaeology. \n  \nMuseumsNoon_Geiger

SUMMARY:Specimen Backlogs in the Age of Digitization: Strategies for Shedding Light on "Dark Data" before They Become Black Holes
DESCRIPTION:Millions of specimens and their associated data are housed in museum collections\, but only a small fraction of these are readily accessible through electronic means. These are now being referred to as “dark data” after a  term coined in the business/IT community  for the information assets that organizations collect\, process and store during regular business activities\, but generally fail to use for other purposes. Although dark data may represent significant costs\, they remain largely underutilized or unleveraged. In the context of museum collections\, these dark data are enormously valuable but untapped resources for the institution as well as the wider research and educational communities.  This has prompted many museums to step up efforts to digitize their collections so that they can be shared with a larger audience. \nSpecimen backlogs\, which may be comprised of partly cataloged or uncataloged material\, represent a substantial hindrance to the digitization of museum collections.  Backlogs may include data that are unstructured (and therefore difficult to organize) or\, in many cases\, simply unknown. Backlogs are particularly challenging when resources are limited and significant effort is required to make the data useful or accessible. In this talk I will provide an overview of digitization and organizational initiatives underway in the UM Museum of Paleontology Invertebrate Collections that are designed to deal with backlogs and “dark data” so that the value of the collections to the University and broader research/educational community is more fully realized. \nPresented by Daniel Miller – Collections Manager\, UM Paleontology Museum \nDecember 9 at 12:00 in UM Museum of Art Multi-Purpose Room (125)

SUMMARY:Inclusion Requires Fracturing
DESCRIPTION:Location:  University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium \nAs museums strive to serve broad\, ever-diversifying publics\, it is no longer possible to deny the ways museums mirror and reinforce racial\, cultural\, and class inequities of the broader society. Skillful racial and cultural representation in interpretation and programming is not only an intellectual exercise; it is an ethical responsibility that requires fracturing the known through consistent individual and institutional self-reflection and action. This talk focuses on the challenging and often painful internal work toward developing diversity and strategies and actions supporting systemic change in museum representation\, interpretation\, and ideation. \nSwarupa Anila is director of interpretive engagement at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Key issues she pursues in interpretive planning practice include examining whose voices and perspectives are missing in museum interpretation\, how to integrate visitor voices to flatten museum and art historical knowledge hierarchies\, and how to design museum interpretation that supports dynamic\, meaningful visitor engagements with art. \nCo-sponsored by the University of Michigan Museum of Art \n  \nMSP Dec 6 Anila lecture

SUMMARY:Access and the Archive: The Role of Documents Projects in a Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:This brown bag will examine my practicum experience working with the Documents Project at the International Center for Art of the Americas (ICAA) at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston. The ICAA is the research institute arm of the Latin American Art Curatorial Department\, headed by the renowned Latin American Art curator\, Marí Carmen Ramírez\, and assisted in direction by María C Gaztambide\, who directs the DocsProject. Its mission is to promote research of the diverse artistic production of Latin American and Latino artists from Mexico\, Central and South America\, the Caribbean\, and the United States\, in order to educate audiences about the field of Latin American art and to open new avenues of intercultural exchange and dialogue\, inside and outside the museum. This presentation will discuss the work of researchers within the documents project\, from the day-to-day minutiae to the steps in long-term strategic planning. Ultimately\, this presentation seeks to encourage dialogue on the future and importance of digital documents projects as critical co-curricular spaces within research museums. \n  \nPresented by Catalina Esguerra – MA\, PhD Candidate\, Romance Languages & Literatures \nNovember 18 at 12:00 pm in UM Museum of Art Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nBrownBag_Esguerra

SUMMARY:What if?  Demand the Impossible.  On Museums and the Struggle for Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Location:  University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium \nWhat if museums were to acknowledge their complicity with systemic forms of oppression\, and commit to a reparations movement as part of a process of truth and reconciliation? \nWhat if museum and exhibition programs at universities were to foster a form of fugitive studies? \nWhat if access and equity were to truly be at the center of museum work? \nThrough an exploration of current and fictitious museums\, works in progress and not yet realized projects\, this talk examines these “What if” propositions\, and takes the impossible as the only realistic option for museums in these fiercely urgent times. \nThis talk is inspired by Bill Ayers’ most recent book Demand the Impossible: A Radical Manifesto (Haymarket\, 2016)\, where he asks us to “unleash our radical imaginations and push ourselves to break the straightjackets of conventional thinking.”  Join in a conversation about how museums and other cultural institutions might fulfill a moral obligation to recognize the capacious\, colorful\, and diverse world of all that is beautiful\, true and just. \nCo-sponsored by the University of Michigan Museum of  Art. \n  \nLisa Yun Lee (PhD) is the Director of the School of Art & Art History\, an Associate Professor\, and member of the Art History\, Museum and Exhibition Studies\, and Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Lisa is also the co-founder of The Public Square at the Illinois Humanities Council\, an organization dedicated to creating spaces for dialogue and dissent and for reinvigorating civil society. As the previous Director of the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum\, she oversaw a new core exhibition\, and reinvigorated public programming that connected the museum with contemporary social justice struggles.  She most recently served on the American Alliance of Museum’s Direct Care task force that made new recommendations around the ethics of direct care.  She researches and writes about museums and diversity\, cultural sustainability\, and spaces for fostering radically democratic practices. Lisa received her BA in Religion from Bryn Mawr College\, and a PhD in German Studies from Duke University. She is the Co-Chair of the Executive Committee of the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy at UIC\, and she serves on the national boards of the American Alliance of Museums\, Imagining America: Artists & Scholars in Public Life\, the Ms. Magazine Advisory Board\, and the boards of Rebuild Foundation\, the National Public Housing Museum\, Young Chicago Authors\, and 3Arts. \nLisa Yun Lee 8.5 x 11

SUMMARY:Supporting Youth through Environmental Education: Teaching\, Learning\, and Design at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Efforts to enhance the scientific capacity of youth often target schools and focus on reforming the existing science curriculum. An often overlooked and underestimated venue for science teaching\, learning\, and design are out-of-school settings. Everyday experiences in these settings can support science learning for a wide range of youth and help develop positive associations with science and influence people’s identities as science learners. Learning experiences in these settings have the potential to reflect a view of science as influenced by individual youth experience as well as social and historical contexts. This presentation will explore the challenges and potential for the development of a non-residential nature experience at the University of Michigan’s Matthaei Botanical Gardens. It will cover the theoretical underpinning that guides its design and the tension inherent in institutions that tend to represent or reflect the dominant culture\, which can present a conflict for those from non-dominant groups. \nPresented by Benjamin Tupper – PhD Candiate\, Educational Studies/Science Education \nOctober 21 at 12:00 pm in UM Museum of Art Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nBrownBag_Tupper

SUMMARY:Negotiating Slavery? The Politics of Memory and the Transformations of a State Museum in Colombia
DESCRIPTION:In a context of controversy surrounding the peace talks between the Colombian government and the FARC guerrilla movement\, the country’s museums are currently experiencing deep transformations. State museums in particular face the challenge of becoming more democratic and inclusive institutions even as they remain subject to the policies and programs of the government in power. This presentation discusses the challenges of curating an exhibition about slavery in New Granada at the Museo Colonial\, a state museum in Bogotá\, Colombia. It explores ongoing questions about the role of the curator in negotiating different approaches to the question of how a state museum should interpret the history of slavery in a context of institutional transformation and debates about memory and national reconciliation. The presentation also addresses the challenges and opportunities for incorporating Afro-Colombian communities into the process of representing their own history given the structures of the museum and the Colombian state. \n  \nPresented by Ana Silva – PhD candidate\, History \nSeptember 23 at 12:00 in UM Museum of Art Multi-Purpose Room (125)

SUMMARY:The God behind the Marble: Transcending the Object in the German Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Alice Goff (PhD post-doc\, Michigan Society of Fellows) \nThis presentation explores the relationship between aesthetic philosophy and art objects in public museums of art in German states in the first half of the nineteenth century. It argues that during this revolutionary period a conflict emerged between the ideal and the material registers of the museum’s public mission. As German museums sought to create spaces where visitors could leave behind the constraints of the material world and experience an ideal realm of beauty\, they also confronted works of art that resisted transcendence: objects whose material condition\, provenance\, and art historical interpretation defied attempts to enlist them into a realm of pure ideas and meanings. By looking at the conflicts that emerged in early public museums’ efforts to create physical environments that conformed to theoretical principles\, this presentation also reflects on the resonance of this history within contemporary museum practice.

SUMMARY:Crisistunity: Re-imagining Historic Sites at the National Trust
DESCRIPTION:Global Heritage at Risk\nUniversity of Michigan Museum Studies Program\nFall 2015 Lecture Series\nSpeaker: Katherine Malone-France\, Vice President for Historic Sites\, National Trust for Historic Preservation \nTerrorism. Looting. Financial crisis. Political factionalism. Unregulated development. Neglect. \nThe news is full of ongoing threats to heritage sites and museums around the globe. In this series\, speakers representing diverse countries examine contemporary threats to museums\, collections\, and historic sites in the Middle East\, Greece\, India\, and the United States. Series speakers will document the many factors fueling the ongoing loss of objects\, monuments\, and historical places and will explore why heritage destruction in distant regions should matter to those of us thousands of miles removed from the most horrific ongoing threats. We also focus closer to home to consider the challenges to heritage preservation in our own backyard. \nBut this is not solely an exercise in despair\, as speakers also examine the ways that international organizations\, national and local governments\, NGOs\, communities\, and individuals are responding to the challenges facing countless museums and heritage sites. The results are new ways of defining the meaning and significance of heritage for local communities\, new strategies for heritage documentation and care\, and new opportunities for us all to become engaged in caring for our own and our world’s irreplaceable cultural heritage. \nThis event will be held in the U-M Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium at 6:30 pm. \nKatherine Malone-France is the Vice President for Historic Sites at the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, leading its portfolio of 27 historic sites around the country to provide expansive and sustainable public benefit as they model exemplary preservation\, collections management\, and interpretation.  Prior to her appointment\, she served as the Senior Director of Outreach\, Education and Support at the National Trust.  Her leadership has also included a diverse range of collaborations with contemporary artists creating new works at National Trust Historic Sites and a revision of the National Trust’s collections management policy that has been hailed as a national model for its inclusion of historic structures by the American Alliance of Museums and the American Association for State and Local History.   Katherine also served as the Executive Director of the Burwell School Historic Site in Hillsborough\, North Carolina\, and the Assistant Director at the Decatur House\, a National Trust Historic Site and National Historic Landmark in Washington\, DC.

SUMMARY:Translating the Museum: Multicultural Accessibility at the National Museum of Japanese History
DESCRIPTION:Esther Ladkau (PhD\, History) \nThe National Museum of Japanese History (known as Rekihaku)\, founded in 1983\, is the only national history museum in Japan with government sponsorship.  Its purpose is to represent the whole of the Japanese archipelago’s history and folk cultures.  Since its reconception in 2002\, Rekihaku has aimed to improve accessibility for minority and international visitors through a variety of means.  This presentation discusses some of the methods in use by Rekihaku that open the galleries up to minority and non-Japanese language speakers along with some of the barriers that remain.  Ultimately\, translating museum exhibits for multicultural audiences requires much more than translating words on paper.

SUMMARY:To Amphipolis and Back Again: Crisis Management\, Heritage Politics and Grassroots Activism as “New Heritage” in Greece
DESCRIPTION:Global Heritage at Risk\nUniversity of Michigan Museum Studies Program\nFall 2015 Lecture Series\nSpeaker: Despina Margomenou\, Lecturer\, Department of Classical Studies\, University of Michigan\nCo-sponsored by the U-M Department of Classical Studies \nTerrorism. Looting. Financial crisis. Political factionalism. Unregulated development. Neglect. \nThe news is full of ongoing threats to heritage sites and museums around the globe. In this series\, speakers representing diverse countries examine contemporary threats to museums\, collections\, and historic sites in the Middle East\, Greece\, India\, and the United States. Series speakers will document the many factors fueling the ongoing loss of objects\, monuments\, and historical places and will explore why heritage destruction in distant regions should matter to those of us thousands of miles removed from the most horrific ongoing threats. We also focus closer to home to consider the challenges to heritage preservation in our own backyard. \nBut this is not solely an exercise in despair\, as speakers also examine the ways that international organizations\, national and local governments\, NGOs\, communities\, and individuals are responding to the challenges facing countless museums and heritage sites. The results are new ways of defining the meaning and significance of heritage for local communities\, new strategies for heritage documentation and care\, and new opportunities for us all to become engaged in caring for our own and our world’s irreplaceable cultural heritage. \nThis event will be held in the U-M Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium at 6:30 pm.

SUMMARY:Gentrifiers or community anchors: are art museums good for urban neighborhood residents?
DESCRIPTION:Justin Meyer (PhD candidate\, Urban Planning) \nMy dissertation research examines how urban art museums impact their adjacent neighborhoods to understand when they contribute to gentrification (and the subsequent isolation or displacement of ethnic minorities and poorer households) and when they might help ‘anchor’ or even build diverse communities. Methodologically\, I use qualitative methods (interviews and participant observation) in a critical case study of the Portland Art Museum in Oregon to identify how and why the museum has benefitted its diverse surrounding neighborhood\, as well as how and why the museum has been complicit in gentrifying the neighborhood and creating exclusive space. I also employ a broader\, longitudinal analysis of socio-economic change between 1970 and 2010 in 158 neighborhoods adjacent to 60 art museums located across the country. This analysis gives me a more generalized view on whether art museums have anchored neighborhood diversity and population over the past several decades or whether their presence has corresponded with neighborhoods becoming more expensive and less diverse. \n  \nThe results of my qualitative research suggest that the health of the regional economy\, thephilosophical dispositions of a museum’s staff linked with an autonomy to pursue their own projects\, and the availability of funding dedicated to specific museum operations are the most important factors in whether or not an art museum benefits its diverse surrounding neighborhood. Results from my longitudinal\, socio-economic analysis of selected art museum neighborhoods suggest that art museum neighborhoods have been less likely than similarly located neighborhoods to experience the displacement of nonwhite populations\, more likely to experience a large increase in wealth\, and recently\, more likely to experience an increase in population\, especially in regions where population is in general decline. These results together suggest that art museums are valuable components to stabilizing neighborhood diversity and population\, attracting human capital\, and under the right conditions\, providing accessible\, valuable amenities for diverse neighborhood residents.

SUMMARY:The Emperor’s New Ethnography:  Debates at the Musée africain de Lyon
DESCRIPTION:Abigail Celis (PhD candidate\, French Language and Literature) \nHow do you do new ethnography with old tools? \nEthnographic museums\, in the past two decades\, have been dancing a funny limbo. The academic fields that shaped them have abandoned many of the methods and primary assumptions that were once the raison d’être for these museums. The regimes of imperial power that founded them have been\, perhaps not fully dismantled\, but heavily deconstructed. And the communities they once spoke for are increasingly able to make demands on the institutions that purport to represent them. \nThough many museums recognize these changes\, unless they are able to immediately undertake massive renovation and acquisition projects\, they are nonetheless saddled with collections and displays that served previous regimes of knowledge and power. In my MSP internship at the Musée africain de Lyon\, I was able to observe first-hand a museum that was grappling with how to convert its collections and displays into something that could meet contemporary demands and interests in an ethically and academically sound manner. This talk outlines how these debates took shape in this particular museum context\, and traces how they are tied to larger questions about why and if museums need objects.
