'Propositions for Museum Education, is a most timely and thought-provoking collection of scholarly perspectives essential all museum professionals seeking to understand and harness the social political and educational changes that are occurring in our societies and institutions. The book champions and proposes hopeful possibilities for museums as contiguous sites of learning for the present day and future realities of institutions who are embedded and connected with communities, from diverse global perspectives. I strongly recommend this book to all seeking to make a positive difference to their museological practice and greater influence on and within the communities in which their museums are embedded.'
