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:Curatorial Dilemmas: Representing Africa at UMMA with Pamela McClusky
DESCRIPTION:A series of talks by leading curators and thinkers in African art will launch a reimagining process for the forthcoming reinstallation of the University of Michigan Museum of Art’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African Art. Pamela McClusky\, Curator of African and Oceanic Art\, Seattle Art Museum\, will be the second speaker in this series to contribute reflections on her own groundbreaking work in the display of African art. \nMcClusky established a department for the Art of Africa\, Oceania and the Americas at the Seattle Art Museum in the 1980s.  It became the museum’s fastest growing department\, receiving several significant collections\, and hosting a vast range of exhibitions.  Honoring the depth of the African holdings\, she led a collaborative process with African artists\, scholars\, and advisors to create a national tour\, publication and web resource entitled: Long Steps Never Broke a Back in 2002-2004.\nDuring the last decade\, she has collaborated on exhibitions such as Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth\, Gauguin and Polynesia: An Elusive Paradise\, and Colors of the Oasis: Central Asian Ikats. When the Seattle Art Museum expanded in 2007\, she curated multiple galleries of African art\, along with experimental installations that mixed cultural perspectives and cross continental boundaries. In 2012\, she led an effort to place Australian art in the permanent galleries and oversaw an exhibition\, publication and tour called Ancestral Modern: Australian Aboriginal Art.  Recently\, she was the lead curator for Disguise: Masks and Global African Art\, a national touring exhibition that combined masks of the past with masquerading of the present\, and Mood Indigo: Textiles from Around the World.  She is now working on a new design and interpretation of the African collection galleries which will focus on the distinctions between public and private art and the ways they are presented in museums. \nAdditional featured speakers include:\nThursday\, October 19\, 7 p.m.: Mary (Polly) Nooter Roberts\, Professor\, UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance and Consulting Curator for African Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) \nThursday\, November 30\, 7 p.m.: Christa Clarke\, Senior Curator Arts of Global Africa\, Newark Museum \n  \n\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center. \nThis lecture series is presented in partnership with the University of Michigan African Studies Center\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Department of History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Museum Studies Program. \nThe series is presented in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa (on view from August 19-December 31\, 2017). \n\nCuratorial_Dilemmas_poster

SUMMARY:The Museum Further Afield: Conservation\, Art\, and Archaeology
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Suzanne Davis\, Associate Curator\, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. \nFriday\, October 20 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm\, UM Museum of Art auditorium \n  \nThe Museum Further Afield: Conservation\, Art\, and Archaeology \nWhen we think and talk about museums\, we are often focused on what is happening within the gallery. But certain museums support projects around the world. In this talk\, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology conservator Suzanne Davis will provide a brief introduction to the field of conservation: what conservators do and where they work\, how to become a conservator\, and some of the big-picture issues conservators are concerned about today. As a specialist in archaeological conservation\, she will then describe how her work supports the mission of the Kelsey Museum\, both in Ann Arbor but also further afield\, specifically at the Kelsey Museum/University of Michigan archaeological excavations at El Kurru\, Sudan. Conservators working at archaeological sites like El Kurru conduct the same kinds of activities as conservators in museums — condition surveys and documentation\, conservation treatment\, and collections management — but in a different setting\, with different resources\, and a different kind of collection. \n  \nMuseums at Noon_Davis

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

SUMMARY: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: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: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.
