- Title
"FROM THE INSIDE OUT": MUSEUM EDUCATORS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ON RACE TALK.
- Authors
Murray-Johnson, Kayon K.
- Abstract
The purpose of this article is to share highlights of a professional development workshop aimed at helping museum educators build capacity for difficult dialogues on race with adults. Public pedagogy affords museum educators a unique role in adult education as they facilitate adult learning on social justice issues. But in sharing with adults about the scope and elements of race-related objects, they may fear or be unable to manage the kinds of emotions that could be evoked. Consequently, they may hesitate to fully engage in what could be a rich learning moment. The workshop was designed to explore characteristics of adults as learners and featured discourse and activities around a recently developed "8S" framework for educators who often engage in race talk.
