Theorizing Equity in the Museum: Integrating Perspectives from Research and Practice

Bronwyn Bevan (Senior Research Scientist, University of Washington, USA),Bahia Ramos (Wallace Foundation, New York City, USA)

In this book theories of spatial justice, critical pedagogy, culturally relevant pedagogy, critical race theory, and others are used to consider how the museum’s dominant cultural structures and norms collide with museum professionals’ aspirations for inclusive practices. The chapters present a mix of empirical research and reflections, which collectively operate to theorize the museum as a potential force for enriching, empowering, and transforming an inclusive public’s relationship with some of our most powerful ideas and aspirations.
