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:Spending Some Time on the Inside: Jackson's Cell Block Seven Prison Museum
DESCRIPTION:Amy Reimann (Executive Director\, Ella Sharp Museum) \nIn 2013\, the Ella Sharp Museum of Jackson\, Michigan\, was approached about developing a plan for a museum at an operating penitentiary dedicated to telling the story of the Michigan Department of Corrections.  The Cell Block Seven Prison Museum opened for operation in June 2014 and continues to develop with support and direction from the MDOC.  We will discuss the initial goals for the museum\, what’s been learned over the past year\, and where it is headed over the next four.

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.
