Topics include disability and welcoming all bodies, celebrating queer people's lives and histories, settler colonialism and decolonization, fair workplaces, Indigenous knowledge, and much more. This practical resource invites classroom teachers to rethink how and why they are bringing students to museums and suggests projects for creating rich museum-based learning opportunities across an array of subject areas.Book Features:Links museums, classroom teaching, and social movements for justice.Focuses on the cultural contributions of people of color, women, and other marginalized groups.Organized around probing questions connecting history and contemporary events, museum formats and content, and activities.
