I am currently pursuing a Master's degree at MTSU in Tennessee. This is a
public history program with
a museum studies track. I am in the process of determining what my thesis
topic will be.
I am interested in outdoor interpretation and how museums are/can be
incorporated into the
landscape (as opposed to being enclosed within walls). That is a good start
on the museum angle, but I
am in need of help determining my history angle. I could pick a geographic
place and time period, or I
could approach it from a social/cultural history perspective, or ...
A fellow grad student has recommended _Memory in Black and White: Race,
Commemoration, and the
Post-Bellum Landscape_ by Paul A. Shackel which I am about to read. I am
hoping that you can offer
additional reading suggestions (or examples of outdoor historical
interpretation) that might provide
context/inspiration and eventually end up in my historiography.
Thank you for tolerating such a vague question! And, thank you, in advance,
for your responses.
