The Museum as Classroom: Teaching through Exhibition Creation at the AMAM

Discover how exhibition creation at the Allen Memorial Art Museum (AMAM) can transform your teaching, inspire your students, and further your research. Join Drew Wilburn (Classics), Taylor Allen (Biology), and Ana María Díaz Burgos (Hispanic Studies) to discuss how they’ve collaborated with the museum and students to curate interdisciplinary exhibitions, building students’ skills in research, constructing arguments, and communicating with a range of audiences. Faculty-curated exhibitions have not only enriched student learning and museum programming but also advanced faculty scholarship in meaningful ways.

Lunch provided.
