The seminar creates a dialogue in theoretical aspects of history and museum practice, and explores such issues as ethics, social utility, and academic integrity, as they apply to the museum milieu. Programs and exhibits dealing with race and ethnicity will serve as a focal point for many of these discussions. The seminar includes reading assignments, discussions, and guest speakers. Other elements involve historical research on issues of race and ethnicity in the museum's manuscript collection or being a part of the museum's long-range interpretation enhancement project dealing with issues of race and ethnicity. The Internship is approved for credit at both Trinity College and Connecticut College.
Credit requires successful completion of two exams and a research paper.
The pursuance of college credit is not an application requirement, but is strongly recommended. Senior museum staff serve as program instructors. To apply, send completed application form , transcripts, and three letters of reference.
