Museums & museology

The museum and heritage sector has been shaken by debates over how to address colonialism, migration, Islamophobia, LGBTI+ and multiple other forms of difference. This major multi-researcher ethnography of museums and heritage in Berlin provides new insight into how ›diversity‹ is understood and put into action in museums and heritage. Exploring new initiatives and approaches, the book shows how these work - or do not - in practice. By doing so, it highlights ways forward - for research and action - for the future. The fieldwork locations on which this book is based include the Humboldt Forum, the Museum of Islamic Art, the Museum für Naturkunde, and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, as well as Berlin streets and protests.

Reviews for Doing Diversity in Museums and Heritage: A Berlin Ethnography

»Gerade in Zeiten, in denen rechtspopulistische und rechtsextreme politische Parteien neuen Aufschwung in Europa und weltweit erhalten, verspricht der in diesem Band vorgestellte Forschungsansatz komplexere Antworten auf die Frage zu liefern, wie ganz praktisch demokratisierende und diversifiziernde Veränderungen umsetzbar sind.« Brigita Malencia, Bayerisches Jahrbuch für Volkskunde, 23.08.2024 »Der Band [liefert] einen guten Ein- und Überblick in die Forschungen am CARMAH.« Thomas Thiemeyer, Zeitschrift für Empirische Kulturwissenschaft, 1 (2024) Besprochen in: https://respatrimoni.wordpress.com, 11.12.2022
