Museums and the Working Class is the first book to take an
intersectional and international approach to the issues of economic
diversity and class within the field of museum studies. Bringing
together 16 contributors from eight countries, this book has
emerged from the significant global dialogue concerning museums'
obligation to be inclusive, participate in meaningful engagement
and advocate for social change. As part of the push for museums to
be more accessible and inclusive, museums have been challenged to
critically examine their power relationships and how these are
played out in what they collect, whose stories they exhibit and who
is made to feel welcome in their halls. This volume will further
this professional and academic debate through the discussion of
class. Contributions to the book will also reinforce the importance
of the working class - not only in collection and exhibition
policy, but also for the organisational psychology of institutions.
Museums and the Working Class is essential reading for scholars and
students of museum, gallery and heritage studies, cultural studies,
sociology, labour studies and history. It will also serve as a
source of honest and research-led inspiration to practitioners
working in museums, galleries, libraries, archives and at heritage
sites around the world.

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.
