This course fulfill Humanities, Ethnic Studies, Afro-American Studies, Art, and related African Studies requirements.
It meets Tuesday: 5:15-7:45.
Students will not only engage exciting readings, they will interact with Chazen Museum staff and develop an understanding of how museums function, as well as an understanding of relationships between art history, museums, and education.
Though an important aim of this course is to introduce students to African and African American art in museums (especially at the Chazen Museum), it will consider art by diverse populations (including questions of gender, sexuality, and disability) with the larger aim of introducing museum best practices, collecting, diversity, museum education, museum-schools relationship, debates on cultural property and restitution, and problems related aesthetics vs. ethnographic displays. In this process, students will develop skills in art historical analysis. Assignments will include short papers, and a major paper or project.
