Museum Studies: Resources

"Museum Anthropology" is published by the Council for Museum Anthropology in partnership with Wiley-Blackwell Publishers, through the publications program of the American Anthropological Association. Members of the Council for Museum Anthropology receive the journal as a members benefit and the journal receives support from the dues for section membership.

Museum and Society was launched in March 2003 by Gordon Fyfe, Kevin Hetherington and Susan Pearce as an independent peer reviewed journal which brings together new writing by academics and museum professionals on the subject of museums. It is both international in scope and at the cutting edge of empirical and theoretical research on museums.

Museums & Social Issues is a leading forum for critical conversations on the role of museums in society. Responding to the dense entanglement of museums with every aspect of social, cultural, political and economic life, the journal welcomes original articles, commentaries and reviews that situate museums as vital interlocutors in many of the most urgent debates of our time, from racial justice and post-truth politics to inequality and climate action. Bringing together in-depth research, critical analysis and creative thinking from around the world, Museums & Social Issues seeks to provide a platform for pioneering work across the sector. The journal takes an expansive view of museums, and specifically aims to bridge theory and practice in this interdisciplinary field. Topics may include but are not limited to: diversity, representation and inclusion; health and wellbeing; sustainability, resilience and uncertainty; participation and engagement; rights and (in)justice; power, diplomacy and democracy; ecology and the environment; activism and social change.
