Each day will cover a dedicated topic (including access, repatriation/rematriation, decolonization, participation, and difficult histories), with leading expertise provided by a guest contributor. The day will follow a workshop format and will include a lecture, discussion, and guided site visit or tour. A bibliography relevant to the topics covered will be circulated ahead of the Summer Institute. This course will be of benefit to both established museum practitioners and those wanting to break into the field. It will close with a presentation and discussion session led by participants.
