SUMMARY:Annual MSU Museum Director's Talk
DESCRIPTION:
 What are the ethical responsibilities of university 
 museums when our local communities face 
 profound crises and occasions of injustice? 
 How might we foster compassion and promote conversations 
 that can build enduring community 
 bonds, while honoring our academic commitments 
 to promoting critical analysis and stewardship 
 of our scientific and cultural collections?\n
 \n
 In 
 his 2018 annual talk, MSU Museum director 
 Mark Auslander explores several case studies, 
 in which museums have grappled with moral 
 challenges close to home, including facing 
 up to legacies of slavery on a college campus, 
 the threatened mass eviction of a low-income 
 neighborhood and honoring the stories of 
 survivors of sexual abuse. What lessons have 
 been learned and how might we, together, chart 
 productive pathways forward?\n\n
