History museum professionals may be interested in my new book, Curating America: Journeys through Storyscapes of the American Past, just published by the University of North Carolina Press. The book traces the growing significance of the educator in the curatorial and interpretive functions of the museum, the adoption of new interactive and constructivist pedagogies, the increasing stress on narrative rather than thematic interpretation, and the radical widening of our history museums to focus on previously ignored populations, places, objects, and "difficult history."
