Teaching Ancient Egypt in Museums

Description

Ancient Egyptian artifacts are central to the learning experiences of schoolchildren, university students, and members of the public in museums across the world. Teaching Ancient Egypt in Museums: Pedagogies in Practice is an international endeavor that poses the question, What do best practices in museum pedagogy look like for ancient Egyptian material culture? This series of co-authored essays reflects the breadth and collaborative nature of museum learning. They are written by Egyptologists, teachers, curators, docents, museum educators, artists, and community partners working in a variety of institutions around the world-from public, children's, and university museums to classrooms and the virtual environment-who bring a broad scope of expertise to the conversation and offer inspiration for tackling a diverse range of challenges. Contributors foreground their first-hand experiences, pedagogical justifications, and reflective teaching practices, offering practical examples of ethical and equitable teaching. The volume is intended to serve as a resource for teaching with Egyptian collections at any museum, and at any level.
