Museums and Social Change explores the ways museums can work in
collaboration with marginalised groups to work for social change
and, in so doing, rethink the museum. Drawing on the first-hand
experiences of museum practitioners and their partners around the
world, the volume demonstrates the impact of a shared commitment to
collaborative, reflective practice. Including analytical discussion
from practitioners in their collegial work with women, the
homeless, survivors of institutionalised child abuse and people
with disabilities, the book draws attention to the significant
contributions of small, specialist museums in bringing about social
change. It is here, the book argues, that the new museum emerges:
when museum practitioners see themselves as partners, working with
others to lead social change, this is where museums can play a
distinct and important role. Emerging in response to ongoing calls
for museums to be more inclusive and participate in meaningful
engagement, Museums and Social Change will be essential reading for
academics and students working in museum and gallery studies,
librarianship, archives, heritage studies and arts management. It
will also be of great interest to those working in history and
cultural studies, as well as museum practitioners and social
activists around the world.
