This book brings together contributions from scholars from
intersecting disciplines. Arguing that we are witnessing a paradigm
shift concerning the place of historic spaces and museums in the
contemporary imaginary, the volume shows that such institutions are
merging traditional scholarly activities tied to historical
representation and inquiry with novel modes of display and
interpretation, drawing them closer to the world of entertainment
and interactive consumption. The book concludes that museums and
historic sites are reinventing themselves, in order to remain
meaningful and to play a role in societies aspiring to be more
inclusive and open to historical and cultural debate. This book
will be of interest to students and faculty who are engaged in the
study of museums, art history, architectural and design history,
social and cultural history, interior design, visual culture, and
material culture.

This book unpacks the tension between free speech and the social
justice priority to support all students. Drawing on court cases,
institutional policies and procedures, and notable campus
practices, this book answers the question: How do campus leaders
develop interests of social justice and create a campus that is
inclusive and inviting of all identities while also respecting
students' free speech rights? This useful guide provides insights
about the myriad of challenges that campus leaders have faced,
along with practical approaches to address these issues on their
own campuses. Experts Sun and McClellan interrogate the
assumptions, thoughts, events, rules, and actions often at-play
when free expression clashes with a college's mission of diversity,
inclusion, and social justice. This book helpfully guides campus
leaders to consider a series of legal frameworks and promising
policies as solutions for balancing social justice and free speech.
