Museums script their exhibitions with and without input from the public and from descendant communities. Reading is light but absolutely necessary. Readings are on reserve in the Undergraduate Library. There are weekly written assignments in which students critique the reading relevant to the case study. These critiques will help us focus our discussions which, I think, will be quite lively.
Attendance is required.
