Campus Art Museums in the 21st Century: A Conversation
In the summer of 2012, the authors of this study brought together a group of campus art museum directors and outside experts to 'think out loud' about the changes already occurring at campus museums and where new opportunities and roles may be emerging. We hope the resulting paper will further the field's larger, continuing exploration of its roles and potentials through dialogue, research, and experimentation—an exploration that contributes to the continued healthy evolution of campus art museum practice.

Cultural Institutions in a Postmodern Key
Peter Linett, partner at the audience research firm Slover Linett Strategies
This speculative talk will explore how cultural production and consumption are changing as Modernist assumptions give way to Postmodern ones. Join us to discuss the shifting roles of objectivity and subjectivity, directness and irony, knowing and believing, and seriousness and play; and to think how these changes may reshape museums and arts organizations.
