Hello Museum-Lers,
As a "White (non-Hispanic) Male" - sometimes "Caucasian" - I perceive
that I am in the minority when it comes to museum employment. In
reviewing the staff web pages on several museum web sites, I see the
ratio of women to men goes from equal - 1 to 1 - to very unequal - 4 to
1, in one case 6 to 1. (I can't tell about other E.O.E.
classifications.)
So, my questions:
Is this a false perception?
Am I missing something in the bigger picture?
Are men a minority in museum work?
If men are in a minority, what do you believe contributes to this?
Truly, I'm not looking to initiate a new round in the "blame game"; I'm
just trying to figure out how to find a job where I can use the
education and experience I have so far managed to acquire.
Sincerely,
Jay Heuman
