Museum learning and community engagement teams regularly create a wide range of specialized learning opportunities for audiences of all ages both inside and outside of the museum, including formal settings (i.e., schools, universities) and informal settings (i.e., community venues, social media). Through a lens of critical museum studies, this course will introduce the wide range of learning opportunities in museums and methods by which to design and deliver learning programs using equitable and inquiry-based methodologies, empowering students to create and promote equitable learning and engagement opportunities in their institutions.
