Preparing a new generation: Thoughts on Contemporary Museum Studies Training
In this paper, I examine the development of museum studies training in the USA; offer an updated definition of what constitutes 'a museum'; describe and discuss three conceptual domains that underlie and penetrate all museum work; and review the professional areas of museum work. I then propose a multi-tiered approach to museum studies training that, I argue, would effectively prepare the next generation of museum workers for leadership that will…
Re-configuring museums
This paper presents a model for understanding contemporary museum practice. It identifies three fundamental museological domains-materiality, engagement, and representation-and examines them from the perspective of what museums have been, what museums are becoming, and what museums could become.

These objects are not, however, dada‐like commentaries on contemporary aesthetics. They are the products of “making do” by people who have only the most limited economic resources. This essay quest…
