Summary: Seeks to understand audiences, museums, and preconceived constructions of particular identities by analysing the ways in which audiences engage with museum exhibitions designed to challenge and subvert preconceived notions of identity or historical narratives. In doing explores the management (curatorial, collections based, learning, practice) challenges for museums which attempt to involve audiences in contested issues and identities; but also emphasises the political opportunities as well as responsibilities for the museum in undertaking this kind of programming.
