SUMMARY:Building Collections\, Building Knowledge\, Building Publics: Diversity at the Huntington
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1919\, the Huntington Library\, Art Collections\, and Botanical Gardens originated with the collections of Henry and Arabella Huntington. As of 2014\, nearly three-quarters of a million people visit the grounds and buildings annually. In recent years\, the Huntington has become more intentional about reaching a broader audience and expanding its collections in directions that reflect the diversity of southern California. But what does it mean for an institution originally formed to preserve the home and possessions of a wealthy\, Europhilic white couple–an institution that is\, in fact\, still located in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in California–to embrace diversity\, inclusion\, and relevance? This presentation will discuss the Huntington’s past initiatives\, potential approaches\, and continued challenges in pursuing these goals. \nBrownBag_Tsay

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:"History Compels Us to be Daring": Sites of Conscience in Action Around the World
DESCRIPTION:The International Coalition of Sites of Conscience was founded in 1999 with the radical idea that historic sites had an obligation to draw a connection between the history of their sites and their contemporary implications. Today\, we are more than 200 museums\, historic sites\, parks\, memory projects\, archives\, documentation centers\, and memorials around the world.  Whether remembering an era centuries or decades ago\, Sites of Conscience begin by facing all aspects of our history: stories of great cruelty\, great courage\, or everyday life. But we go a step further\, activating the historical perspective with public dialogue on related issues we face today and what we can do about them. I will explore what it means to be a Site of Conscience in practice today\, sharing a few of the ways that Sites of Conscience pick up the unfinished work of societies\, serve as safe spaces to tell multiple stories in contentious environments\, and provide a platform for individuals to share their stories. \nJulieta Cuéllar is the Global Networks Program Manager at the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience where she supports global exchange and learning as well as the development and implementation of global programs for the Coalition’s members around the world.  Julieta is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin\, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and Eastern European studies.  She also attended the Institut d’études politiques de Paris and the School of International Training.  Julieta’s studies and research have focused on the politics of memory in Serbia and the Balkans.

SUMMARY:“But Is That Even a ‘Real’ Museum”?  Exhibits and Their Objects at the Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum
DESCRIPTION:In my brown bag presentation\, I will discuss my experience completing an exhibits (and sometimes curatorial and sometimes collections) practicum at the Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum (HHOF)\, a non-traditional museum located downtown Toronto.  With an entrance located off a mall food court\, HHOF is considered by hockey fans to be their mecca\, housing their holy grail\, the Stanley Cup.  HHOF is a place to view NHL trophies (including the Cup)\, to honor hockey’s legends\, to learn about the history of hockey and the National Hockey League\, and to play hockey-related games.  As a historical museum\, tourist attraction\, and Hall of Fame it serves as an intriguing non-traditional museum.  To observe and classify HHOF through the lense of Duncan F. Cameron’s “The Museum\, a Temple or the Forum?” the visitor would have to pick both.  Working on exhibits done within a museum that acts as both Temple and Forum (and a little bit playhouse) gave me a greater appreciation for the constant role that visitors\, in addition to the museum’s mission statement\, must play in the development and creation of exhibits. \nBrownBag_Juillet

SUMMARY:Where the Sacred and the Secular Meet:  The Politics of Display at a Monastery Museum in Ladakh\, India
DESCRIPTION:Removed from the sanctified spaces of temples and shrines\, and relocated to the secular sphere of museum galleries\, Buddhist objects are transformed from icons to artifacts\, from images to artworks. Within their new exhibition context\, new meanings and values are imposed on these objects based on the authority of the museum and the principles of research and education that it embodies.  But what if the museum is located within the sanctified space of a Buddhist monastery? How are the boundaries between art and relic\, aesthetic work and empowered icon\, scholarly authority and religious belief negotiated in these hybrid spaces? Who is the intended audience and what is the intended mission of a monastic museum? \nIn this presentation\, I will share my recent fieldwork at a museum project at Chemrey Monastery in Ladakh\, a Tibetan Buddhist region located in the western Himalayas of India. The proposed reconceptualization of an existing museum at this monastery has revealed the potential implications of wielding cultural preservation to respond to the growth of tourism and the expansion of modernization. Chemrey’s monastic museum offers a compelling case study for illuminating the widespread forces of change at play in the western Himalayas regarding the treatment and understanding of sacred art and local heritage\, and understanding the powerful resolution offered by the museum medium. \nBrownBag_Bloom

SUMMARY:German Studies Colloquium - January 15
DESCRIPTION:Alice Goff \n(German/History/Society of Fellows) \n“Stepping onto the Pedestal: The Silence of Art in Napoleonic Prussia” \nFriday\, January 15\, 2pm  \n3308 MLB \nAlice Goff is a historian of German cultural and intellectual life in the modern period. Her research and teaching focus on the history of museums\, aesthetics\, and the relationships between material objects and political thought in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As a post-doctoral fellow with the Michigan Society of Fellows\, she holds appointments in the departments of Germanic Languages and Literatures and History. \nAlice is currently at work on a book project with the working title\, “The God Behind the Marble: Transcendence and the Art Object in the German Aesthetic State.” It tells the story of artworks caught up in the looting\, iconoclasm\, and shifting boundaries of German states during the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars and the consequences of their displacement for German political\, religious\, and intellectual practice at the beginning of the nineteenth century. By examining the development of private collections\, public museums\, and church treasuries\, this work examines the frictions that arose between the precarious fates of artworks on the ground and the assertions of art’s ideal autonomy in philosophy and criticism. Alice’s second book project takes up the history of German baroque royal collections–Kunstkammer– in the cultural politics and practices of the German Democratic Republic. \nAlice received her PhD in History from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2015. Her work has been supported by the Council for Library and Information Resources\, the DAAD\, and the Mabelle McLeod Lewis Foundation. \nFor inquiries or questions\, please contact moltke@umich.edu

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: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

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.

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:Chronopolis: Time and Urban Space - a German Studies Graduate Student Conference
DESCRIPTION:Combining Reinhart Koselleck’s notion that time is conceived in spatial metaphors with Henri Lefebvre’s premise that space is socially produced\, this conference invites papers that investigate how cities and time mutually determine and reflect each other. While the focus is on Germanspeaking cities\, we also welcome approaches that connect time in the metropolis to international frameworks and consider the rise of global cities and global metropolitan networks. \nFurther details can be found here. \nCo-sponsored by University of Michigan Museum Studies Program

SUMMARY:"What Time Is It?' - New Work by Tyree Guyton
DESCRIPTION:Guyton’s new work builds on his well known Heidelberg Project addressing the social and economic adversities with which Detroit has struggled for the last fifty years. The exhibit marks a key moment of transition for Guyton as he shifts his attention from the Heidelberg Project\, to which he has devoted the last thirty years\, to the studio. What Time Is It? Tyree Guyton\, New Work presents fifteen mixed-media wall pieces and a floor installation that reexamine some of the themes the artist has grappled with for over thirty years—the passage of time\, adapting to change\, the plight of the poor and disenfranchised\, abuses of political power\, race in America\, and the paradoxes of organized religion. Some of Guyton’s iconic images\, in particular his whimsical clocks and his assemblages of shoes\, are given new significance as they are deployed to interrogate the nature of time and the challenges facing humanity as it moves through time. \nThe exhibition was curated by Bradley L. Taylor and is on display at GalleryDAAS in 4701 Haven Hall. For more details\, click here.

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.
