What a great new museum resource: Museum Education for Today’s Audiences – Meeting Expectations for New Mode (Edited by Jason L. Porter and Mary Kay Cunningham)

Today’s museum educators are tackling urgent social issues, addressing historic inequalities of museum collections, innovating for accessibility, leveraging technology for new in-person and virtual learning experiences, and cultivating partnerships with schools, businesses, elders, scientists, and other social services to build relationships and be of service to their communities.

Empathetic Museum member, Kayleigh, co-authored a chapter with Melanie Adams, PhD, director of Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum, on the need for museum educators to implement Critical Race Theory into their work to expand relevance and serve visitors with humanity and empathy.
