1-page assignment
Museums live in real time, and discussions about major issues facing cultural institutions
may be found in in blogs and other online sources. One a week you should submit
thoughtful essay on a museum issue. These essays are informal writings (I won’t grade
them on writing), and designed to keep you thinking, and give you a chance to weigh in
on some issues. Essays are to be 1-2 pages, double spaced, Arial 12-point font. Number
your pages, and put your name in the top right corner.
Here is a list to get you started (some sites have links to other sites). You are not limited
to these sites.
