Introduction- Why I chose to read Looking Reality in the Eye

Hi, my name is Jessica Hufford.  I am really looking forward to discussing this book with my classmates and the museum professionals reading along with us.  This is a great opportunity to get real world feed back from individuals that may have dealt with similar issues presented in the book.  I chose to read this book because it deals directly with the concept that museums have a social responsibility.  I agree whole heartedly.  My second reason is, I really appreciate the format of case studies.  Case studies can demonstrate the application of inacting social responsibility, not just vague theoretical concepts.  I look forward to embarking on this journey with you.  Happy reading.
