HIST 2075 - Museology II

Credits: 3
Introduces students to the history of museums, as well as major theoretical, legal and political challenges within museum studies. Students are encouraged to think beyond their specific disciplinary background to gain a greater appreciation for the lessons that can be learned from related disciplines and types of repositories, including larger ethical and cultural concerns that have been raised through the creation of modern museum standards. The combination of readings, discussion, and fieldtrips to a variety of museums/repositories will provide students a solid introduction to these themes.
