SUMMARY:Listening to Object Witnesses: Decolonizing Research in Museum Collections
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Dr. Margaret M. Bruchac \nHow do Indigenous objects in museum collections speak to those who collect\, curate\, observe\, and claim them? The observable materials and patterns of construction obviously reflect particular ecosystems\, cultures\, and technologies\, but do these objects also retain memories of the artisans who created them? Do they wield more than just imagined meaning or distributed agency? In this talk\, Dr. Bruchac discusses strategies for recovering object histories through material analyses\, consultation\, and critical re-assessments of imposed museological categories (e.g.\, art\, artifact\, utilitarian\, etc.) that may have distanced objects from their origins and isolated them from others like themselves. Case histories will feature new research into iconic creations – such as a 17th century wooden war club embedded with re-purposed wampum beads\, and a shell bead wampum belt with a single glass bead – that function as “object witnesses” to entangled colonial settler/Indigenous encounters. Through her practice of “reverse ethnography\,” Bruchac will reveal how\, in many cases\, memories can be reawakened when otherwise mysterious objects are reconnected with the stories\, ecosystems\, knowledges\, and communities that created them. Object histories can also be recovered by tracking the desires and actions of non-Indigenous curators and collectors who transported these objects and stories to physically and conceptually distant locales. \n  \nDr. Margaret M. Bruchac is an Associate Professor of Anthropology\, Coordinator of Native American and Indigenous Studies\, and Associate Faculty in the Penn Cultural Heritage Center at the University of Pennsylvania. She is also a consultant to the Center for Native American and Indigenous Research at the American Philosophical Society\, and Director of “The Wampum Trail\,” a restorative research project designed to reconnect wampum belts in museum collections with their related Indigenous communities. Bruchac is co-editor\, with Siobhan Hart and H. Martin Wobst\, of “Indigenous Archaeologies: A Reader in Decolonization” (Left Coast Press 2010). Her new book – “Savage Kin: Indigenous Informants and American Anthropologists” (University of Arizona Press 2018) – was the winner of the 2018 Council for Museum Anthropology Book Award. \n  \nMarch 10 at 6:30 pm \nUM Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium \n  \nCo-sponsored by the Department of American Culture; Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies; LSA/Great Lakes Theme Semester; Native American and Indigenous Student Interest Group; Native American Studies Program; Office of Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion; Program in Science\, Technology and Society (STS); UM Museum of Anthropological Archaeology; UM Office of Research \n \nBruchac lecture announcement_final

SUMMARY:A Swift Death and Steady Resurrection: Salvage Anthropology and U.S. Museums
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Samuel J. Redman \nWhat should museums do with stolen artifacts? Should the response be similar with stolen knowledge? This talk explores the history and legacy of salvage anthropology as it relates to museums in the United States. Salvage anthropology was a movement responding to the perceived threat of extinction faced by indigenous societies around the world. The movement brought millions of material culture objects to museums\, inspired the creation of audio recordings by the thousands\, and pushed artists to depict Native Americans in new ways. Museums in the United States even began collecting human remains\, with over 500\,000 individual sets of human remains ultimately ending up in museum storerooms. This talk examines the complex history and legacy of salvage anthropology\, especially for indigenous communities in the United States today. \n  \nSamuel J. Redman teaches public history\, oral history\, and modern U.S. history at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. Redman is the author of Bone Rooms: From Scientific Racism to Human Prehistory in Museums (Harvard\, 2016). He earned a B.A. from the University of Minnesota\, Morris and an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley. Before graduate school he worked in the Science Museum of Minnesota\, Field Museum of Natural History\, and Colorado History Museum. His recent articles include\, “The Smithsonian at War: Museums in U.S. Society during World War II\,” “Impossible Appraisals: Art\, Anthropology\, and the Limits of Evaluating Museum Collections in the Mid-Twentieth Century United States\,” “Have Anthropology Museums Become History Museums?: A Visit to Museum für Völkerkunde in Hamburg\, Germany\,” and “The Hearst Museum of Anthropology\, the New Deal\, and a Reassessment of the ‘Dark Age’ of the Museum in the United States.” \n  \nMarch 12 at 6:30 pm \nUM Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium \n  \nCo-sponsored by the Program in Science\, Technology and Society (STS); Program in Science\, Technology and Public Policy (STPP); Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies; UM Kelsey Museum of Archaeology; UM Museum of Anthropological Archaeology; UM Museum of Natural History \n \n  \nRedman lecture announcement

SUMMARY:Using Racist Memorabilia to Teach Tolerance and Promote Social Justice: the Case of the Jim Crow Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Jim Crow Museum is the nation’s largest publicly accessible collection of racist artifacts. Located on the campus of Ferris State University in Big Rapids\, Michigan\, the museum houses more than 12\,000 objects—primarily\, but not exclusively\, segregation era artifacts and everyday anti-black caricatured objects. The museum’s innovative mission—which doubles as its tagline—is “using objects of intolerance to teach tolerance.”  As such\, the Jim Crow Museum serves as a compelling model for all museums to consider. \nProf. David Pilgrim\, founder and current director of the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia also serves as Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion at Ferris State University. \nPlease note that some may be offended by the images in the presentation. \n  \nOctober 23\, 2018 at 6:30 p.m.\, Stern Auditorium\, University of Michigan Museum of Art \n  \nPresented by the University of Michigan Museum Studies Program with the support of the Office of the Vice President for Student Life\, the School of Information\, the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, and the Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion. \n  \nPilgrim lecture announcement_Final \n  \nDr. David Pilgrim\, Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion at Ferris State University\, is one of this country’s leading experts on issues relating to multiculturalism\, diversity\, and race relations. He has been interviewed by National Public Radio\, Time magazine\, the British Broadcasting Corporation\, and dozens of newspapers\, including the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Boston Globe\, Chicago Tribune\, and the Los Angeles Times. Dr. Pilgrim is best known as the founder and curator of the Jim Crow Museum — a 11\,000 piece collection of racist artifacts located at Ferris State University\, in Big Rapids\, Michigan. The museum\, innovatively\, uses objects of intolerance to teach tolerance. Dr. Pilgrim’s writings\, many found at www.ferris.edu/jimcrow\, are used by scholars\, students\, and civil rights workers to better understand historical and contemporary expressions of racism. \nDr. Pilgrim is an applied sociologist with a doctorate from The Ohio State University. He believes that racism can be objectively studied and creatively assailed. In 2004\, he produced with Clayton Rye the documentary Jim Crow’s Museum to explain his approach to battling racism. The film won several awards including Best Documentary at the 2004 Flint Film Festival.  Dr. Pilgrim’s writings\, scholarly and creative\, deal with multiculturalism and race relations. His short stories have been published in Calaloo\, Obsidian\, African American Review\, Aim\, and Shooting Star. He is the author of Understanding Jim Crow: Using Objects of Intolerance to Teach Tolerance (PM Press\, 2015)\, used as a text in teaching undergraduates in the Museum Studies Minor at the University of Michigan. \nDr. Pilgrim challenges audiences to think deeply about diversity and race relations. He is a Ferris State University Distinguished Teacher. Dr. Pilgrim has spent his adult life using objects of intolerance to teach tolerance. It works. His goal is to get people talking about diversity and race relations in meaningful ways — and\, then\, to go and do something positive. \n

SUMMARY:What Do Curators Know?
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 27 at 6:30 pm \nMichigan League (Michigan Room) \nPresentation by Steven Lubar Professor of American Studies\, History of Art and Architecture\, and History\, Brown University and Museum Studies Program Visiting Scholar \nCurators are experts on an astonishing range of topics. But what else do they know? I believe that curators’ hands-on work with art\, artifacts\, and specimens provides them a kind of knowledge unavailable in any other way. Handling objects\, understanding their materiality\, offers insights into their histories of creation\, meaning\, and use. Organizing them for storage\, research and exhibition allows new insights that allow understandings of connections across space and change over time. Curatorial knowledge matters\, even as the role of the museum and curator changes. \n  \nSteven Lubar is professor in the Departments of American Studies\, History\, and History of Art and Architecture at Brown University. He was previously curator at the National Museum of American History\, and Director of Brown’s John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage and Brown’s Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology. He is a 2015 Guggenheim Fellow. His most recent book is Inside the Lost Museum: Curating\, Past and Present.  \n  \nco-sponsored by the University of Michigan Museum of  Art \n  \nLubar lecture announcement

SUMMARY:Museums of the Past into the Future: The Oriental Institute and the Kelsey Museum
DESCRIPTION:A conversation between: \nChris Woods\, Director\, Oriental Institute\, University of Chicago \nTerry G. Wilfong\, Director\, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, U-M \n  \nThe Oriental Institute Museum at the University of Chicago and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan share similar backgrounds and histories. Founded in the prosperity of the 1920s as part of the wider-ranging projects of visionary scholars\, the two archaeological museums focus on an expansive program of investigation of the ancient history of the Mediterranean and Middle East. But these two museums have taken very different paths to the present and face different challenges for the future. The discussion will cover the history of these unique institutions as well as their present situations and future possibilities. \n  \nChristopher Woods is John A. Wilson Professor and Director of the Oriental Institute\, and member of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and the Program in the Ancient Mediterranean World at the University of Chicago. He received his BS from Yale University and his PhD in Assyriology from Harvard University and was a junior fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows before joining the faculty of the University of Chicago. His research interests include Sumerian writing and language as well as early Mesopotamian religion\, literature\, and administration.  He is author of The Grammar of Perspective: The Sumerian Conjugation Prefixes as a System of Voice (Brill\, 2008)\, Materials for the Sumerian Lexicon (Volume 18) and is currently completing a monograph on early cuneiform writing\, The Origins and Development of Writing in Ancient Mesopotamia: A History\, 3500 — 2000 BCE. \n  \nTerry G. Wilfong is Director and Curator for Graeco-Roman Egypt at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and Professor of Egyptology in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Michigan. Wilfong received his BA\, MA\, and PhD in Egyptology at the University of Chicago. As a scholar\, he has dedicated himself to the Kelsey Museum’s collections from the University’s 1924-1935 excavations of the Egyptian sites of Karanis\, Soknopaiou Nesos\, and Terenouthis\, sites chosen by the original excavators to illustrate daily life in Egypt in the Greek and Roman periods (c. 332 BCE – 641 CE). As a curator and museum director\, Wilfong has used these collections to address wider areas of archaeological inquiry\, including concepts such as gender\, sound\, childhood\, and fire. He has also supervised an ongoing series of contemporary art installations in which artists respond to the ancient material in the Kelsey’s collections. Wilfong has recently published two monographs on ancient Egyptian religion and practices relating to death and burial: Death Dogs: The Jackal Gods of Ancient Egypt (2015)\, and Life\, Death and Afterlife in Ancient Egypt: The Coffin of Djehutymose in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology (2012). \n  \nCo-sponsored by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Bicentennial \nWoods and Wilfong Announcement

SUMMARY:Time to Evolve:  The Histories and Futures of Two University Natural History Museums 
DESCRIPTION:A conversation between: \nJulie Stein – Executive Director\, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture\, University of Washington \nAmy Harris – Director\, Museum of Natural History\, U-M \n  \nUniversity natural history collections were central to the scientific enterprise in the 19th century. Today\, these collections document change over time\, and play critical roles in research\, education\, and cultural heritage. However\, many museums are under-utilized by their local communities. \nIn the 21st century\, campus and museum leaders must rethink the role of the University Museum. As public appetite for engagement and transparency increases\, University Museums are in a unique position to act as a “front door” to academia by offering access to collections and opportunities to connect with the process of scientific research. Some universities are now making significant investments in upgrading their natural history museums\, including the University of Washington and the University of Michigan. \n  \nJulie K. Stein\, Executive Director of the Burke Museum of Nature and Culture at the University of Washington and Amy Harris\, Director of the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History will share  stories of their institutions’ development over time\, with particular emphasis on the opportunities presented by their new facilities\, both opening in 2019. \n  \nJulie K. Stein was appointed Executive Director of the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in 2005.  Previously she served as the Museum’s Curator of Archaeology.  She also maintains a professor position in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Washington\, and was Divisional Dean of Research\, Computing\, and Facilities for the College of Arts and Sciences.  Stein received her MA and PhD degrees from the University of Minnesota and her BA degree from Western Michigan University.  Her research interests are in geoarchaeology\, especially studies involving Northwest Coast shell middens.  She has excavated archaeological sites on Washington’s San Juan Islands since 1983\, and she continues to collaborate on research projects involving geoarchaeology. \n  \nSince 2002\, Amy Harris has served as the Director of the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History\, where she was previously Associate Director and Development Officer. Harris received her BA from Cornell and MA from the University of Michigan. Before joining the Museum of Natural History in 1996\, she worked at the Art Institute of Chicago and then became the Development Director of the Ann Arbor Summer Festival (1986-1994). As museum director\, Harris is currently overseeing the planning and development of the new U-M Museum of Natural History\, slated to open fully in fall 2019.  Harris’ decades of commitment to the Museum and her leadership in this new project were recently honored by the establishment of the Amy Harris Director’s Strategic Fund\, a sizeable endowment that will support the Museum’s projects in perpetuity. \n  \nCo-sponsored by the University of Michigan Bicentennial and the UM Museum of Natural History \n  \nStein and Harris Announcement

SUMMARY:Learning by Leading: A New Model for Expanding Museum Impact
DESCRIPTION:A conversation between: \nKathleen Socolofsky – Director\, Arboretum and Public Garden\, University of California\, Davis \nBob Grese – Director\, Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum\, U-M \n  \nDuring this time of immense and sometimes disorienting change\, museums are perfectly positioned to step into new leadership roles for the universities\, their towns\, and their cities.  Building on foundational strengths in education and community engagement\, museums are poised to be the natural hub that can help people band together to identify\, understand\, and begin to solve the real problems that the community and nation face. This brief presentation will share the lessons that the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden has learned over the last ten years as we developed and launched our Learning by Leading program. This student-centered program\, focused on step-by-step leadership training\, staff mentorship\, and project-based learning\, helps undergraduates engage and lead a broad community of partners\, donors\, and volunteers to “make real change happen in the real world.” Because we are a living museum\, our teaching focuses naturally on plants\, biodiversity\, and ecological systems. Learning by Leading\, therefore\, is intentionally designed to empower the next generation of environmental leaders. As we move forward to explore\, test\, and share our Learning by Leading model nationally\, we invite you to bring your own best ideas about how we can improve and expand this program that is dedicated to “inspiring human potential to help people and environments thrive.” \nMatthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum at the University of Michigan also aspires to train environmental leaders through its student internship\, work-study\, and volunteer programs\, including the Campus Farm.  The summer internship program\, known as the “Nature Academy” strives to provide professional training for students while engaging them in caring for the arboretum and botanical gardens properties.  Following Kathleen Socolofsky’s presentation\, she and Matthaei-Nichols Director Bob Grese will compare notes on what each of their respective institutions has learned from these innovative student engagement programs. \n  \nSince 1998\, Kathleen Socolofsky has served as Director of the Arboretum and Public Garden at the University of California\, Davis\, where she has also been Assistant Vice Chancellor in Campus Planning and Environmental Stewardship since 2008. Nationally recognized for her leadership and contributions to UC Davis\, Socolofsky has built university and community partnerships that have led to new gardens and innovative programming\, with a major goal of transitioning her campus into a public garden\, using strategies that have made the Arboretum a success. She has co-developed and currently leads the UC Davis GATEways (Garden\, Arts\, and the Environment) Project\, which works to transform the Arboretum and campus landscapes into physical and programmatic “gateways” to engage the public and connect them with the riches of the University. \nPrior to joining UC Davis\, Socolofsky served as the Director of Education at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix\, Arizona (1985-1998)\, where she was Principal Investigator for a National Science Foundation grant that transformed the garden and its collections into an interactive science museum. Among her committee and board appointments\, she has served on the Board of the American Public Gardens Association\, receiving its 2007 Professional Citation Award. Socolofsky received an Award of Distinction in 2012 from the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the first-ever Leadership Prize from the Excelerate Foundation in 2014. \n  \n  \nRobert Grese has served as Director of Nichols Arboretum since 1999 and of the combined Nichols Arboretum and Matthaei Botanical Gardens since 2004. A long-time advocate of ecologically-based design and of the careful stewardship of cultural and natural landscapes\, Grese is a faculty member in the University of Michigan’s newly renamed School for Environment and Sustainability\, where he is currently the Theodore Roosevelt Chair of Ecosystem Management. Hailed by the Garden Club of America as an “extraordinary leader\, designer\, researcher\, teacher and guide\, a true Renaissance man in his field\,” his focus has been on restoring urban wilds\, specifically prairie and oak savanna ecosystems\, integrating and connecting people to nature and fostering volunteer stewardship. \nA much-published author and speaker\, Grese has documented and become a leading authority on the work of early landscape designers Jens Jensen and O.C. Simonds\, who pioneered the “prairie style” of landscape architecture and advocated the use of native plants. He also is considered a leader in documenting midwestern landscapes and has helped develop national landmark nominations for both the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House and the Henry Ford estate\, Fair Lane. \n  \nCo-sponsored by the University of Michigan Bicentennial \n  \nSocolofsky and Grese Announcement

SUMMARY:University Natural History Museums: Portals of Discovery in the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:A conversation between: \nJames Hanken – Director\, Museum of Comparative Zoology\, Harvard University \nDiarmaid O Foighil – Chair\, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, U-M \n  \nMany of the world’s great universities have natural history museums founded in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Faculty curators are often called upon to justify the considerable expense associated with the maintenance of enormous collections under their care. The research and educational value of these collections resides in their wealth of identified biological specimens\, collected from natural populations at known times and locations. That value compounds with time because they increasingly represent populations\, species\, biological communities and ecosystems that no longer exist. Using museum collections\, modern scientists can in effect time travel by accessing otherwise unavailable genomic and ecological information from collection specimens that allow us to track change through time. \n  \nThis ability has never been more needed: our impact on the planet’s biota\, climate and ecosystems is such that profound ecological change\, AKA the Anthropocene\, is upon us. University natural history museums can play a key role in documenting that change\, determining its scope and\, via online outreach\, communicating results to a global audience. The value and potency of university-based natural history museums may be greater now than ever before. \n  \nJames Hanken is Director of the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology and Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology at Harvard University. After earning A.B. and Ph.D. degrees in zoology from the University of California\, Berkeley\, he did postdoctoral work in developmental biology at Dalhousie University\, Nova Scotia\, and then assumed a faculty position at the University of Colorado\, Boulder. Professor Hanken moved to Harvard in 1999\, where he is also a professor in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and a member of the Biological Sciences in Dental Medicine Program. A member of the Executive Committee of the Encyclopedia of Life and a recognized teacher\, he has authored more than 130 scientific publications and edited four books\, and is also an accomplished nature and scientific photographer. \n  \nDiarmaid O’Foighil is Director of the Museum of Zoology and Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan. Professor O’Foighil obtained a B.Sc. in zoology from NUI Galway\, Ireland\, in 1981 and a Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Victoria\, Canada\, in 1987. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Michigan in 1995\, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Friday Harbor Laboratories\, University of Washington\, and Simon Fraser University\, Vancouver\, and a research scientist at the University of South Carolina. He has served as the president of the American Malacological Society and on the editorial boards of Evolution and Malacologia. \n  \n*Note\, this event will be held at the Rackham Graduate School building (on the 4th floor\, West Conference Room) \n  \nCo-sponsored by the University of Michigan Bicentennial \n  \nHanken and O’Foighil announcement

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: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:Tactics for the Anthropocene: Not an Alternative
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Michigan Theater (603 E. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor) \nNot An Alternative is a NY-based collective that works at the intersection of art\, activism\, and critical theory. Its mission is to affect popular understandings of histories\, symbols\, and institutions through the occupation and redeployment of popular vernacular\, semiotics\, and memes. Named in The New York Times and ArtNet’s “Best in Art in 2015” round-ups\, the group’s work has been widely exhibited nationally and internationally. Their latest project\, The Natural History Museum\, is a mobile and pop-up museum that highlights the socio-political forces that shape nature\, yet are excluded from traditional natural history museums. \nPresenting for the group\, co-founder Beka Economopoulos is the VP at Fission Strategy\, a consultancy specializing in new media communications. She is also a senior trainer and Advisory Board member at the New Organizing Institute. \nSupported by the University of Michigan Museum of Natural Historyand the University of Michigan Museum Studies Program.

SUMMARY:Taking a Look in the Mirror: Transformative Change within Museums
DESCRIPTION:Location:  University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium \nMuseums do not exist in a vacuum. The external environment around museums is in a state of constant change. Yet\, it seems as though museums continue to approach diversity and inclusion work through community outreach and programs. It is time for museums to transform. We must look internally at organizational culture and traditional work practices in order to spark transformative change across the field. This talk focuses on concepts and practices to shift work culture to help museums evolve into inclusive institutions. \nChris Taylor blends passion for history\, diversity\, and inclusion work in his job as the Chief Inclusion Officer at the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS). As part of the Executive Leadership Team of the organization\, he is responsible for creating and implementing a strategic vision to create an inclusive work culture and help staff develop inclusive work practices. In addition\, he works to build healthy\, sustainable relationships with the many diverse communities of Minnesota. \nChris Taylor lecture anouncement

SUMMARY:2016 Museum Studies Visiting Scholar presentation: The Challenges of Pursing Intentionality
DESCRIPTION:The Cycle of Intentional Practice requires that museums clarify the impact they would like to achieve on their publics and realign all practices and resources to achieve that impact.  Clarifying impact\, though\, requires a knowledge of the museum’s organizational self and the public.  Given that most museum work is mission driven\, achieving impact may require that a museum shift how it thinks about and does its work so energies and attention are towards achieving intended results among audiences.  Achieving impact necessitates purposeful and intentional actions\, including: \n\nClarifying impact and identifying supporting measurable outcomes\,\nAligning resources (e.g.\, staff and dollars) to support achieving impact\,\nStudying results among audiences through research and evaluation\, and\nReflecting on one’s practice and evidence from visitor studies with the goal of organizational learning and improving practice.\n\nMuseums that are intentional promote inclusivity and internal and external collaboration; they value only doing work that will achieve intended results\, study the effect of the museum on people’s lives\, and are passionate about continuous professional and organizational learning. \nRandi Korn is the founding director of Randi Korn & Associates\, an organization with specialized knowledge and expertise to assist professionals in cultural organizations and the cultural sector at large.  Randi founded RK&A in 1989 after working in a variety of cultural organizations including art\, history\, science\, botanical gardens\, and natural history museums.  She has held positions such as executive director\, exhibit designer\, interpretive planner\, and evaluator. With a passion for learning and desire to strengthen the relationship between cultural organizations and people\, Randi is dedicated to using evaluation as a learning tool to improve personal and organizational practice.  Over the last several years\, she has focused on creating new services to help museums and other cultural organizations excel so they can achieve impact for the public good.  RK&A maintains a commitment to helping cultural organizations\, and museums in particular\, become more intentional and purposeful in their planning and daily work.  Ultimately the firm strives to use impact-driven planning and rigorous evaluation to help cultural organizations demonstrate\, with evidence\, the ways in which they contribute to the public good and make a difference in people’s lives and communities. \nKorn lecture announcement

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:The "Calculated Frightfulness" of ISIS: Threats to Middle Eastern Cultural Heritage in Historical Perspective - Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The so-called “Islamic State” (also known as ISIS\, ISIL\, or Daesh) proclaimed itself a caliphate in June 2014. Like any new state whose continued existence may be in doubt\, this group has advanced its ideology through varied relationships to tangible material heritage. This talk will contextualize the horrifying destruction of monuments and looting of sites and museums within regional histories of “calculated frightfulness” (as one historian characterized a strategy of the ancient Assyrian empire)\, iconoclasm\, and other episodes of looting. It will also examine western responses to these actions\, from government silence\, to mobilization of archaeologists\, and uneven media coverage. \nPresented by Geoff Emberling – Kelsey Museum/Near Eastern Studies \nPanelists:\nGottfried Hagen – Near Eastern Studies\nPiotr Michalowski – Near Eastern Studies\nCarla Sinopoli – Museum Studies/Anthropology \nEmberling NES Lecture Series
