Past, Present, and Futures: Intentional Dreaming With Early-Career Researchers About Museum Education and Research

Fri, April 12, 4:55 to 6:25pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 118B

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

Museums have a strong history as sites of informal education research, theory, and practice (Stoddard, 2018). However, new and ongoing concerns and questions about how museums operate and who is and isn’t served drive the need for new research avenues. In this structured poster session, early-career museum researchers share current work that addresses critical questions in the field including organizational change for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), creating space for critical learning, meeting the opportunities and challenges of big data and AI, and museum learning within larger educational ecosystems. Paired with intentional reflection on personal and theoretical pasts that inspire present work, we invite the authors and attendees to join in social dreaming about the future of museum education and research.
