"Curatorial Partnerships with Community"

offered through the Cultural Resource Management Program at the University
of Victoria

As museums seek to be more responsive to diverse communities, curators must
redefine the ways in which they assemble and share collections, shape
exhibitions, communicate information, and nurture partnerships with
community. This new course examines the attitudes, knowledge, and skills
that underlie this shift in curatorial role and practice, and develops your
ability to:

* appreciate the benefits of inclusive approaches to curatorship
* determine appropriate ways to partner with community in the curatorial
process
* identify and establish ongoing and respectful relationships
* facilitate group processes
* balance issues of preservation, access, perspective, and voice
* recognize and accommodate diverse and dissenting voices
* resolve disputes
* develop policies that provide a framework for partnerships
* keep everything in perspective
