“Interrupt the status quo”: How Black Lives Matter Changed American Museums
Get PDFBlack Lives Matter protests in 2020 were the catalyst for change in many institutions, particularly in museum collections and interpretive methods. This was especially true in museums located in Washington, District of Columbia; Atlanta, Georgia; Portland, Oregon; Los Angeles, California, and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Prior to the protests, most art and history museums upheld a Eurocentric worldview that diminished the contributions of Black Americans. Widespread Black Lives Matter protests, however, forced the discussion of racial equality to the forefront of the American consciousness, encouraging many museums to take a public stance and incorporate Black collective memory into their collections. This thesis analyzes case studies from five American cities that show how museums have utilized the Black Lives Matter Movement’s momentum to create new content for the public
The Pensieve Podcast
No full textThis individual study was completed as a capstone course for the Digital Studies Minor. For this project, I created a segment on my podcast, Alexandra’s Adventures, called The Pensieve Podcast. This segment was dedicated to exploring the magical world of Harry Potter. In order to do this, I critically analyzed the Harry Potter novels and movies and presented my analysis through the format of a podcast. The focus was to explore the Harry Potter world, both canon and non-canon, and make connections that we as readers can learn from. This book series has had such a huge impact on its readers, so it is important to critically analyze something that has this much of an impact. In addition to my own commentary, there is an additional segment at the end of each episode called the Scholarly Second where I talk about other scholarship about Harry Potter
