Episode 9: Museums and the Combating of Social Inequality

Boy, oh, boy—does this get heated! How's April treating, y'all? Good? Bad? Are you tired? Please drink more water, you deserve it.  Today's episode looks at Richard Sandell's (2003) "Museums and the combating of social inequality: roles, responsibilities, resistance" article. Find out how passionate your hosts are about the current state of museum affairs, our anime-filled pandemic plans,  #MuseumsAreNotNeutral, the WILD notion that "art for art's sake" is a good enough museum/gallery model, and why we used Sandell's writing in both of our thesis'. Thesises? Thesi? Theseseseses. Thesisis. Thesisesesis.... Stay Safe. Don't Touch Your Face. Wash Your Hands.
