Why I chose Looking Reality in the Eye...

Greetings all! My name is Krystal Gladden and I am a graduate student in the Museum Education class. I chose this book because after reading a short description of the book, I was interested to see the various case studies that highlighted the manner is which museums could become key players in modern social issues. I liked the fact that instead of a long narrative that was broken down into topical chapters, it presented different elements of social responsibility, in different settings, with different authors. Being a person who loves variety, I was partially drawn to this setup because it allows me to read about the observations and experiences of many scholars and professional in the field. I look forward to the many discussions that we will have!
