"This journal provides important information about how public discussions of social issues occur in, and are structured by, museums. It reminds social scientists to think about the way social issues are framed and evolved in a social context." Susan Clayton, Professor of Psychology, The College of Wooster Since its inaugural issue in 2006, Museums & Social Issues has been a theme-based journal, addressing topics such as race, immigration, incarceration, connection with nature and other topics. It focuses on compelling issues and responds to dynamic and contemporary topics by featuring theoretical, philosophical, and practical pieces that discuss museums in relation to a range of contemporary issues. |
