^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Significant changes in the roles and functions of museums and other
cultural organizations are reshaping curatorial practice. As curator,
you must face these challenges with skills in partnership development,
teamwork, new technology, and management that complement your
expertise in research and exhibition development. This course explores
the foundations of curatorial practice, analyzes your role in the
changing cultural, economic, and political environment, and encourages
you to develop new perspectives and approaches to your work. You will
explore:
* changing roles of curators, collections, cultural organizations,
and communities
* balancing curatorial, institutional, and personal priorities
* new approaches to collecting
* research methods
* dissemination of research through exhibitions, publications, and
new media
* collections and information analysis and management
* ethical and legal concerns in curatorial practice
This course involves a preparatory assignment.
