content: This folder relates to the Museum Studies program lecture series at University of Michigan held in March 2010. It includes his abstract for his talk in several formats, the set of abstracts for the other talks, and initial notes for the talk he would present. See the folder "Michigan paper" for transcriptions of the talk and the followup workshop (both raw transcriptions and Kratz's corrected versions). 

The other file in this folder does not relate directly to the Michigan visit except insofar as it arose from a discussion that happened at the same time and was about questions related to new ways to think about museums and exhibits. Steve Lavine, president of CalArts and Karp's co-editor of the first two museum books, wrote to Karp about a potential conference in Berlin to rethink ways to install ethnographic collections and other transformations in museums. The file includes the email correspondance and Karp's initial ideas about the issues to address and people that might be included.
