I’m thrilled to see an essay of mine appear on another awesome museum-community website, MuseumNext. Woohoo! MuseumNext gets museum people together both on- and offline (currently only online of course) to talk about pressing issues in the field, from new technologies to examples of best practices. Their yearly conference is being held this year online; maybe you want to join!
As the title of my essay implies, I chose the topic “Why 2021 will be momentous for social justice in museums” because I think there are some positive trends that started in 2020 and could make a real difference this coming year to making museums more conscientious and inclusive places. Take a look at the essay and see if you have any additions to the list!
Have you noticed trends in social justice in museums that we should watch in 2021? Share in the comments below!
