NYCMER Book Club is back but with a twist!

How can museums remain as true public spaces for the community, both internally with staff and externally with visitors, within the capitalist and classist society we live in today? Join us to discuss the challenges in building a consistency in ethics within museums, and actionable steps we can take as museum staff. We'll consider the overall contradictions museums face, from funding acquisitions to staff retention, and reflect on how we can create inclusion without sacrificing our values as community spaces.

Reading Choice(s):
