SUMMARY:Our National Marine Sanctuaries\, Protecting America's Underwater Treasures:  A Survey of Michigan's Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Underwater Preserve
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \n \nTitle:  Our National Marine Sanctuaries\, Protecting America’s Underwater Treasures: A Survey of Michigan’s Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Underwater Preserve \nDate:  Friday\, April 17 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Sarah Waters (Education and Outreach Coordinator\, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary) \nPreserved by the cold freshwater on which they once served\, more than 200 shipwrecks are believed to rest in Lake Huron’s Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary (TBNMS). The sheer number of shipwrecks is impressive. However\, it is their excellent state of preservation and what they represent—a century and a half of maritime commerce and travel on the Great Lakes—that make them truly special. \nSarah Waters\, the Education Coordinator of TBNMS\, will take us on a freshwater journey to a time when schooner and steamer ruled the Great Lakes. We will explore some of the nation’s best-preserved shipwrecks\, how the first marine sanctuary in the Great Lakes was designated and became part of the Michigan History Center’s statewide system of museums and historic sites.  2020 is the twentieth anniversary of the sanctuary’s designation to protect the Great Lakes and their rich history for future generations. \nBrownBag_Waters \n

SUMMARY:Museums and Movies: Reflecting and Shaping Cultural Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \n \nTitle:  Museums and Movies: Reflecting and Shaping Cultural Perspectives \nDate:  Thursday\, April 9 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Susan Dine (PhD candidate\, History of Art) \nTo date\, the history and function of a museum in society as well as the museum-visitor perspective\, through visitor studies\, have been studied in-depth. In contrast\, the museum in popular visual culture—especially among a public that includes non-museum visitors—has not yet been deeply explored. A close look at two popular movie examples\, the Indiana Jones franchise of the 1980s and the 2018 Black Panther\, illustrates significant shifts in public perceptions of museums as an institution over the last four decades. This talk will present analyses of the two case studies\, looking at both in relation to contemporaneous museum study and practice and addressing how popular visual culture can both reflect and shape cultural perspectives. \nBrownBag_Dine \n*Note\, this presentation was re-scheduled from a previous date \n

SUMMARY:Interdisciplinary College and Professional Learning at the Art Institute of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \nExterior of Art Institute of Chicago. \nTitle:  Interdisciplinary College and Professional Learning at the Art Institute of Chicago \nDate:  Thursday\, March 26 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Christina DiFabio (PhD candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art & Archaeology) \nThis presentation will discuss how a major art museum in the U.S. engages college and professional groups within various disciplines. During the winter of 2019\, I worked in the Adult Learning Division in the Department of Learning and Public Engagement at the Art Institute of Chicago. In my practicum\, I saw how the division initiates and maintains partnerships with art students at the School of the Art Institute and medical students at University of Illinois Chicago and Rush University. I will discuss how the division approaches art education with these different audiences as well as my own research which proposed how to broaden the medical school partnership to other professions\, such as social work. My work was an initial step in a larger project that is being undertaken by the division to create a wellness program for interdisciplinary students and professionals. \nBrownBag_DiFabio

SUMMARY:Reconstructing History/Reimagining Originality: The Case of Henry Ford’s English Preservations
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \n \nTitle:  Reconstructing History/Reimagining Originality: The Case of Henry Ford’s English Preservations \nDate:  Friday\, March 20 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Bradley L. Taylor (Associate Director\, Museum Studies Program) \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. \nThis talk 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.” \nBrownBag_Taylor \n

SUMMARY:Preserving Context for Museum Collections: Implications\, Challenges\, Strategies
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \n \nTitle:  Preserving Context for Museum Collections: Implications\, Challenges\, Strategies \nDate:  Thursday\, March 19 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Jeremy York (PhD candidate\, Information) \nIn this talk\, Jeremy will discuss the importance of preserving contextual information about museum objects and the challenges he experienced in doing so during his Museum Studies internship in the Research Library and Archives at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). Jeremy’s talk will draw on two projects he worked on: assessing the feasibility of using a more robust system to track works that reference items owned by the DIA\, and making digitized photographs from historical exhibitions at the DIA available on the Web. Jeremy will describe some of the strategies he used to address challenges surrounding the capture\, enhancement\, and migration of metadata in these projects\, and reflect on his experience within the broader context of museum theory and practice. \nBrownBag_York

SUMMARY:CLIFF 2020: (Counter) Narratives of Migration
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \nThe Museum Studies Program is proud to co-sponsor the 2020 CLIFF conference.  CLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme\, “(Counter) Narratives of Migration\,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe\, but is not restricted to the present moment. The conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization\, visibility\, and media surrounding the movement of bodies\, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms\, through its various manifestations in the arts\, critical theory\, and new media. \nThis year’s keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay\, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator\, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture\, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence\, imperialism and body politics. Her films\, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\, civil engagement\, and human rights. \nAdditional information about the conference can be found here.

SUMMARY:Collecting Oceania
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \n \nTitle:  Collecting Oceania \nDate:  Friday\, March 13 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Emily Cornish (PhD candidate\, History of Art) \nTraveling along numerous intellectual\, social\, political and cultural currents\, objects from the Pacific Islands have been circulating in United States’ museum collections since the nineteenth century\, especially in universal art museums.  Using a mid-Atlantic U.S. institution as a case study\, this talk explores Pacific Islands holdings and collection histories. Close engagement with museum object files\, digital catalogue\, and the objects themselves reveals a complex collecting history that encompasses the twentieth century obsession with the so-called “primitive arts\,” U.S. involvement in WWII\, and contemporary ethical dilemmas regarding the repatriation of human remains and sacred objects. By tracking aspects like objects’ display histories\, language of classification\, and more\, the bounded nature and value of this collection in relation to the museum’s current priorities\, initiative\, and constraints comes to the fore\, ultimately prompting consideration of the museum’s responsibility today to such objects and their source communities. \nBrownBag_Cornish

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:Repatriation and Restitution of Cultural Heritage
DESCRIPTION:  \nRepatriation and Restitution of Cultural Heritage: Museums\, Universities\, and the Ethics of Community Engagement \nDepartment of Classical Studies\nDEI Committee \nRoundtable:\nRepatriation and Restitution of Cultural Heritage: Museums\, Universities\, and the Ethics of Community Engagement \nOctober 25\, 2:30-3:30PM\nClassics Library \nThis roundtable was prompted by similar events in US universities (e.g. Brown University)\, after the publication of the Savoy report in November 2018 (The Restitution of African Cultural Heritage: Towards a New Relational Ethics.) The report defines restitution and outlines its implications beyond questions of legitimate ownership which often dominate discussions on the topic. \nFrom the report: “Restitutions open up a profound reflection on history\, memories\, and the colonial past\, concerning the history as well as the formation and development of Western museum collections. But just as importantly the question of restitution also bears on the question of the different interpretations or conceptions of cultural heritage\, of the museum\, and their various modalities of the presentation of objects as well as their circulation and\, in the end\, the nature and quality of relations between people and nation.” \nAccording to the report\, stolen and looted objects constitute a “diaspora” and additional violence is inscribed onto the objects themselves as they are altered\, reshaped\, varnished\, cleaned\, etc. How are such objects to be “restituted” and “repatriated”\, the report asks? And why seek to repatriate at all? Does repatriation foster community engagement? What are the power dynamics among the multiple stakeholders in such engagements? \nThe report raises questions that resonate beyond African Art and with this event we hope to raise similar questions as they pertain to our institutional and disciplinary practices. \nThe roundtable brings together specialists from different fields: \nBrendan Haug\, Assistant Professor\, Classical Studies and Archivist of the UM Papyrology Collection\nShelley Perlove\, Professor Emerita\, History of Art\nRay Silverman\, Professor History of Art\, DAAS\, Museum Studies\nLisa C.

SUMMARY:“The Unvarnished Truth”: Reframing the National Narrative at the National Museum of African American History and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by William S. Pretzer\, Senior Curator of History\, Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture \n  \nThe Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture opened on the National Mall in Washington\, DC\, in September 2016.  More than six million individuals have visited the museum in its first three years of operation. \nThe Presidential Commission created in 2001 directed the museum to “give voice to the centrality of the African American experience and make it possible for all people to understand the depth\, complexity\, and promise of the American experience.” \nFrom the beginning\, Founding Director Lonnie G. Bunch III and his staff heeded the exhortation of historian John Hope Franklin\, chair of the museum’s Scholarly Advisory Committee\, “to tell the unvarnished truth.” That principle energized an exhibition plan informed by public conversations\, a collecting program relying on individual and family legacies\, a narrative format balancing the personal with the social\, and a funding strategy emphasizing the “African American experience as the lens through which we understand what it is to be American.” \nThis presentation demonstrates the impact of these foundational principles and strategies through an illustrated tour of the inaugural exhibitions. \n  \nWilliam Pretzer is the Senior Curator for History at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture where he is developing the museum’s Center for African American Innovation and Entrepreneurship. He co-curated “A Changing America: 1968 and Beyond\,” one of the museum’s twelve inaugural exhibitions.  Pretzer began his museum career as a historian at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History from 1980-1984.  Following tenure as a Project Director at the Winterthur Museum in Delaware\, he then spent 21 years as a curator and educator at The Henry Ford in Michigan where he developed exhibitions\, chaired the museum’s Collection and Publication committees\, and served as Director of Educational Programs.  From 2006 to 2009 he served as Director of the Museum of Cultural & Natural History as well as Director of the Museum Studies Program and Associate Professor of History at Central Michigan University. \n  \n \nPretzerFlyer

SUMMARY:Reinstalling Early Greece at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, April 19 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Caitlin Clerkin (PhD candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art & Archaeology) \nReinstalling Early Greece at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston \nIn the course of my practicum at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, I aided in research and planning for a reinstallation of a permanent gallery. From my position in the Greek and Roman Art section of the Art of the Ancient World department\, my main project focused on planning a new gallery of “early Greek”—post-Bronze Age\, pre-Persian Wars—art. My work consisted largely of object-based research\, and wider research into framing and scholarly trends. In this work\, I (with the curator) thought about balancing familiar—and sometimes outdated—narratives with new scholarship\, how to balance the desire for “full coverage” with idiosyncratic collections\, what stories to tell\, and how to strike a balance between only using ancient objects illustratively and fetishizing them as decontextualized objects. In this presentation\, I’ll especially address issues we faced that are common to decision-making for ancient art galleries\, particularly regarding narratives—both in the sense of the arguments being made in galleries and the narratives with which visitors enter the galleries. \nBrownBag_Clerkin \n \n

SUMMARY:Online Collections and Teaching Whiteness at the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, April 12 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Christopher Mulvey (PhD\, Anthropology) \nOnline Collections and Teaching Whiteness at the University of Michigan Museum of Art \nOver the summer of 2018\, I worked as an intern with the Education Department at the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, creating teaching resources with themes centered on “whiteness” and “masculinities.” Using the online system “The Exchange\,” I reviewed UMMA’s collection and generated new Teaching Collections and Resources on aspects of the collection that were relatively underexplored\, in addition to leading several tours centered on race\, ethnicity\, and gender. This work opened questions of access\, knowledge production\, and the value of underutilized collections. My Brown Bag talk will highlight how museums can begin to loosen their grip on curating collections through the creation and maintenance of systems like The Exchange\, which offer chances for both University and broader publics to engage with shaping how images can be put into conversation with one another. In addition\, I will discuss curating whiteness and masculinities—subjects that often fall by the wayside in teaching both history and art—in an effort to illustrate how the museum can broadly effect change and work against its colonial history. \nBrownBag_Mulvey

SUMMARY:Enhancing Access to Roman Ceramics at the Harvard Art Museums
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 29 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Alison Rittershaus (PhD candidate\, Interdisciplinary Program in Classical Art & Archaeology) \nEnhancing Access to Roman Ceramics at the Harvard Art Museums \nThis talk discusses the tensions revealed between the shifting mission of a university museum and the complicated history of its collections during my internship in the curatorial department of Asian and Mediterranean Art at the Harvard Art Museums. In addition to shadowing department faculty and staff throughout ongoing strategizing about publications\, exhibitions\, and teaching accessibility with the goal of broadening the museum’s audience\, I worked on researching its substantial collection of Roman ceramic lamps\, fleshing out their entries in the online catalogue and proposing methods to integrate them into classroom teaching and gallery displays. \nJust as the institution is an agglomeration of multiple museums searching for a cohesive brand identity\, the lamp collection presents an accumulation of objects that resists neat categorization. They arrived over the course of more than a century\, residing in a variety of Harvard-affiliated collections before finding a permanent home in the art museum. Though they are archaeological objects\, with very few interesting primarily for their aesthetic value\, many lack information about their origin and many can be easily identified as modern forgeries or reproductions. This talk explores the process of trying to use the constraints to put the lamp collection to use in service of the larger museum’s goals. \nBrownBag_Rittershaus \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:From Club to Third Space: On the Interrogation and Creation of Community at the Scarab Club\, Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 22 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Megan Berkobien (PhD candidate\, Comparative Literature) \nFrom Club to Third Space: On the Interrogation and Creation of Community at the Scarab Club\, Detroit \nFor over a century\, the Scarab Club has been an important gathering space for artists and patrons in Detroit’s museum district. Yet\, while the Scarab Club takes its mission as “foster[ing] a stronger\, more vibrant arts community in Detroit\,” the majority of its members and staff live outside of the city. In this sense\, it is no surprise that the once-exclusive Club has yet to transcend its legacy as an organization closed to large swaths of the Detroit community\, including those most marginalized by the suburb-city divide. As an intern\, I worked alongside staff to get intentional about community making and inclusion. In addition to assisting in day-to-day operations\, I designed a visitor’s survey\, supported and coordinated programming that featured Detroiters of color\, and facilitated conversations about equity and governance whenever possible. In this talk\, I will discuss how the Club might confront its history of exclusion through creative exhibition and programming\, and\, by doing so\, better position itself as a gallery and arts venue that uplifts artists from within the city. \nBrownBag_Berkobien \n

SUMMARY:Locating and Relocating Lugdunum: Collection Management at Lugdunum — Musée et théâtres romains\, Lyon
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 15 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Craig Harvey (PhD candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art & Archaeology) \nLocating and Relocating Lugdunum: Collection Management at Lugdunum — Musée et théâtres romains\, Lyon \nThe archaeology museum of Lyon\, recently renamed to Lugdunum – Musée et théâtres romains\, is located on the hill of Fourvière\, overlooking the ancient theatres of the Roman city of Lugdunum. This museum is home to an impressive collection of artefacts from the city of Lyon and the surrounding region. The museum’s collection can be divided into two parts. The first\, known as the fonds ancien\, comprises thousands of inscriptions\, statues\, and other ancient works of art collected over the centuries by Lyon’s Musée des Beaux-Arts and gifted to the archaeology museum at its opening in 1975. The second part is the ever-increasing collection of archaeological artefacts uncovered by excavation and deposited in the museum repository\, as is required by French law. The fact that many of the museum’s objects have been in collections for centuries coupled with the growing number of artefacts from new excavations makes for a difficult collection to manage. \nThis past fall\, I had the opportunity to work with the museum’s collection\, both assisting with an inventory of all artefacts on display and helping with the move of the museum’s storage to an off-site facility. During my time at the museum\, I encountered issues concerning the accessibility and documentation of this very large and old collection. In addition to discussing these issues\, this talk will provide a brief introduction to Lugdunum – Musée et théâtres romains and give an overview of my internship there. It will also present examples of how the museum is making its collection more accessible to scholars despite recently moving the majority of its storage to a decentralized location. These initiatives include the creation of an online database and the use of new gallery spaces outside the museum. \nBrownBag_Harvey \n  \n

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:Interpreting Objects and Exhibitions at the National Museum of Eritrea
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 1 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Timnet Gedar (PhD candidate\, History) \nInterpreting Objects and Exhibitions at the National Museum of Eritrea \nThe National Museum of Eritrea was established in 1992\, a year after the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front earned victory in a thirty-year war for independence. This history has shaped the nature of exhibits and interpretation at the museum in ways that both limit outcomes and allow for creativity. In this presentation\, I weave together this history with my practical work of writing object labels and exhibit introductions in order to understand the meaning and challenges of interpretive content at museums — especially museums in a postcolonial African setting. \nBrownBag_Gedar \n \n

SUMMARY:Dealing with Africa and African Things at the Ethnografiska Museet\, Stockholm
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, February 15 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  James Munene (PhD\, Anthropology) \nDealing with Africa and African Things at the Ethnografiska Museet\, Stockholm \nThe Ethnografiska Museet (Museum of Ethnography)\, Stockholm became part of the Swedish Museums of World Culture in 1999. The museum has a collection of about 220\,000 items from different parts of the continent.  The first collection from Africa came to Sweden in the 18th century from South Africa. Today\, the museum has over 900 collections from 47 out of 54 countries in Africa. In the early 20th century\, Swedish missionaries brought back a large number of objects from the Congo\, Ethiopia\, and South Africa. \nRepresentation of Africa and collections from Africa is an issue the museum has struggled with over the last many years. During my internship at the museum\, I was engaged in several activities surrounding this issue. My talk will mirror some on my experiences focusing on the subject areas relating to learning from objects\, the museum in the changing world and museum identity and representation. \nBrownBag_Munene
