Stephan Fuchs, Professor of Sociology at the University of Virginia, will examine the evolution, interrelation, and current state of history, anthropology, folklore, natural science, and art-disciplines that helped to define museums, and that today offer both benefits and drawbacks to our efforts to arrive at a fresh understanding of global cultures. This free public lecture is being presented as part of Museums at the Crossroads: Local Encounters, Global Knowledge, a new international museum institute, funded by IU’s College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Global and International Studies, bringing together leading scholars of social and cultural theory and museum practice with museum professionals and Indiana University Bloomington scholars, graduate students, and staff.
