Museums are Places that are Quietly Subversive
Museums are Places that are Quietly SubversiveWest Muse
油
Has your museum ever tried to engage audiences in controversial topics, moderate discussions about social movements, or introduce inclusive practices only to be stymied by your board or director? Does it feel impossible for your museum to be an advocate for social justice issues? This session is informed by the growing movement of museums and museum professionals working to dispel the myth of institutional neutrality or nonpartisanship, the reality of museum professionals who cant overtly address controversial topics, and a belief that museums are places that are quietly subversive.Gieseking - Sustaining Difference during Gentrification: NYC & Berlin Since 2008

This document summarizes Jonathan Dresner's work on transnational immigrant patterns and the relationship between diaspora, modernity, and nationalism. It discusses how chain and return migration lead to concentration in sending and receiving areas. Immigrant communities invest in their home countries through remittances and local institutions. Assimilation occurs across generations as ethnic nationalism develops. Modern infrastructure like travel, communication, and media help maintain connections across borders while invented traditions form new identities. Migration must be understood in the context of modernity and the systems that structure the globalized world.Film preservation no video- Pecha Kucha

There is no avoiding it: the library landscape has been changing. We are dealing with slashed budgets and insufficient staffing while attempting to meet an increased need for innovative library programming. As librarians from small libraries, we may be reluctant to shake things up with new ideas because of the high price of failure. So how do we stay relevant in the 21st century? This presentation is a how-to guide for utilizing local resources, establishing valuable community partnerships, and decreasing costs while increasing participation in fresh, fearless, and affordable library programming.

This document provides an overview of Yoruba art and culture from the Newark Museum collection. It discusses how, in Yoruba cosmology, art and life are interconnected. The Supreme Creator commissioned creativity deities to mold the first humans from clay and imbue them with souls. Art is thus integral to humanity and was used to transform the primordial wilderness. The document outlines some of the major Yoruba deities and religious beliefs. It also describes the two main styles of Yoruba art - naturalistic sculptures that capture recognizable likenesses, and stylized sculptures that convey meaning through abstraction. The pieces in the Newark Museum exhibition embody Yoruba spiritual concepts and values.More Related Content

In a time when many students begin their research by Googling and turning to Wikipedia, valuable, authoritative content is often overlooked. Archival material is difficult to identify, find, and search on the Internet because only a small portion of this material has been digitized or have finding aids.
CUNY libraries subscribe to hundreds of research databases that give full-text access to peer-reviewed scholarly articles and full-length academic books. Moreover, the libraries have built unique collections of original documents that support historical and other kinds of research. These collections provide especially rich resources for students and faculty who are interested in researching topics on diversity and multiculturalism. In addition to peer-reviewed journals, libraries in CUNY provide access to a wide variety of resources such as archival material and specialized library databases. The library faculty and staff who develop these collections are experts at identifying hard to find resources that might otherwise go undetected.
The main purpose of this presentation will be to convey the depth and the richness of diversity-related special collections in CUNY schools, which faculty, students and staff may not be aware exists. This presentation celebrates the same values as the newly approved Association of College and Research Libraries Diversity Standards, which provides diversity guidelines for academic libraries. In particular this presentation is concerned with Standard 4, which states:
Librarians and library staff shall develop collections and provide programs and services that are inclusive of the needs of all persons in the community the library serves. (ACRL 2012 http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/diversity)
CUNYs libraries live up to this standard by providing a wide array of resources that support student and faculty research in topics that involve diversity, gender, cultural, LGBT, and multilingual issues.
In the first half of this 45-minute presentation, Professor Albarillo will give a short overview of general services that library special collections provide, focusing on the types of materials these departments collect, and the unique opportunities they provide for students to become familiar with and to use primary resources for class projects. Professor Albarillo will focus on archives and special collections that are part of CUNY and will identify papers and archival material of diverse individuals and organizations available in library special collections throughout the system.
