Welcome to our revamped blog!

Over this past year, we have been brainstorming new and innovative ways to make our blog as reciprocal, reflexive, and engaged as can be.

We are therefore opening a community-wide call for submissions and contributions. We want to highlight your voices – the people in the field, doing museum anthropology every day.

See our recently opened Call for Contributions here.
