Future Topics:
Being Human: How does current research shape and inform what it means to be human? How is “being human” studied and viewed today in the fields of philosophy, cognition, computer science, biology and others? How are we as individuals, museums and a society connecting with and grappling with changing ideas of our human-ness?
Prisons & US: The United States has the highest proportion of our population in prison. What does this reflect about our society? How are prisons experienced by those within? How has the concept and practice of prison shaped our music, literature, identity? How have museums reflected life in prisons or served populations within prisons?
Aging: How does aging affect the way we live in the 21st century? What are the implications of aging on government, relationships, and family structures? How is research changing our assumptions about aging? What are the implications of an aging population on museums and other cultural and educational institutions?
Homelessness: Who are the homeless and what is the path to homelessness? What is the daily life and culture of the homeless? What are the rights, hopes and future for those without homes? How do museums connect with and tell the stories of these audiences?
Exhibit, Book or Program Reviews: The journal is always interested in reviews of exhibit, books and museum projects that address these or any other questions or issues of concern to society.
