    Learning at the Museum Frontiers


    Identity, Race and Power

    Viv Golding, University of Leicester, UK

    ‘Viv Golding’s Learning at the Museum Frontiers is a challenging feminist and post-modernist manifesto for
    tackling questions of race, difference and power in museums. It manages to be thoughtful and feisty, wide-
    ranging and positioned, clear and passionate. Containing a wealth of examples, it offers numerous ideas for
    making museums into spaces for new and even radical learning experiences.’
    – Sharon Macdonald, University of Manchester, UK

    ’Dr. Golding adds significantly to critiques of traditional museum practice by providing rich descriptions of
    newer program and exhibition methods at selected museums that address racism and other social inequities.
    Employing a feminist-hermeneutic framework, she illustrates how museums can become “respectful dialogic
    spaces” addressing issues of power and control to support democracy.’
    – George E. Hein, Lesley University, USA

    ’This new work by Viv Golding repositions in critical fashion the spatial politics of race, knowledge and truth
    in the museum and provides readers with an important advance in the creation of a critical museum peda-
    gogy. This is an outstanding work, which combines theory with practice in an engaging and readable fashion
    and I highly recommend it to the field of education.’
