Museum Studies Examples Request

Hello Colleagues, It feels like the right moment to integrate our museum more deeply into the university's academic offerings, rather than simply operating as a co-curricular resource. To that end, we're collaborating with our Art History department to develop an undergraduate Museum Studies minor. ? I am seeking ways to incorporate the museum into syllabi without adding to our small team's already full plates. I¡¯d be enormously grateful for any examples, syllabi, or stories of success¡ªor caution¡ªthat could help guide us in designing this program. ? Our goal is to make it highly vocational, perhaps including museum staff as guest speakers and utilizing the collection for hypothetical student exhibition curation (since space constraints prevent us from hosting student shows). Thank you in advance for your insights, examples, and support! Anna ? Anna Conlan

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Anna- I started here as we launched the museum studies minor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and still teach in the program. I¡¯d be happy to chat about the program¡¯s development and my approach to the coursework. Since there is a lot to share, a conversation may be more useful so I can provide ideas and thoughts that are specific to your unique needs. Feel free to reach out! kmalon15@... ?

Anna: Over the years, the Georgia Southern Museum has worked hard to ensure that while we maintain a strong outreach program to the community, we are also well integrated into the academic program of the University. Some of our successes have been: 1. a standing relationship with the Art Department where each Fall a senior graphic design course divides the students into teams that compete to develop the winning design for the museum's next changing exhibit which is fabricated in the Spring semester. The Museum and its faculty curator serve as the client and provide a budget, content, and direction for the teams. They in turn develop an overall layout and look for the exhibit including ideas for interactives, marketing materials, and related merchandise. We meet half way through the semester to give them feedback on their proposed designs and choose a winning design?at the end of the semester. 2. a unique collaboration between the museum, the Department of History, and the local Convention and Visitors Bureau where I teach an Graduate Introduction to Museums course as part of the MA in History with a concentration in Public History. It is the only course I teach as an adjunct member of the department. Otherwise I am administrative staff. The course introduces students to the history and many functions of museums, especially through the lense of exhibits. The final project of the course is the students to develop and fabricate an exhibit in a 1000 sq foot gallery on local?history at the Convention and Visitors Bureau. The CVB provides the budget for fabrication and the services of a graphic designer.? 3. The museum regularly collaborates with professors across the university who would like to have the museum integrate with their course to have students disseminate their research and learning in that course by developing an exhibit as part of the course objectives. These range from individual case exhibits to larger spaces in the library or a gallery reserved for student projects. 4. Each year we call for proposals from graduate students, primarily in History and Anthropology, and accept one to work with the museum to create an exhibit on their thesis research in a special case in our permanent gallery on cultural history of Georgia's Coastal Plain. This allows us to highlight student research not currently represented in the gallery, and provide them another important dissemination point for their work. Recent exhibits have looked at the preservation of African American cemeteries and the stories of slavery they preserve, the importance of mules in southern agriculture, the Georgia oystering industry and the loss of African American oystermen through government regulation, and an upcoming exhibit on the history of the introduction of Mexican food traditions in Georgia.
