Free Access to Journal of Museum Education Special Issue

Today’s announcement comes to you from Cynthia Robinson, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Museum Education and director of the Tufts Museum Studies program. Free to everyone!

 

For its first Virtual Special Issue, the editorial team of the Museum Education Roundtable chose articles highlighting the breadth and scope of the JME over the past four decades. They reached out to Museum Studies colleagues at John F. Kennedy University, the University of San Francisco, George Washington University, and Tufts University to see what JME articles they return to again and again, whether on their class syllabi or for their own personal inspiration and growth.  Access it here: http://explore.tandfonline.com/page/ah/rjme-vsi

Craft Demonstrator

Canterbury Shaker Village, Canterbury, NH

Canterbury Shaker Village is seeking volunteers to join our cadre of craft demonstrators! These artisans bring the Village to life during the summer by practicing their trades within the historic buildings where the Shakers once lived and worked. Existing trades practiced in the Village include oval box making, letterpress printing, broom making, sewing, spinning, weaving, rug braiding, rug hooking, and poplarware weaving . . . and we’re always looking to expand the scope of our trades to include other industries practiced by the Shakers. Canterbury Shaker Village is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm, mid-May through October each year. Prospective volunteers should be able to commit to at least 2 days per month during the season; scheduling and hours can be adjusted to suit individual availability. Benefits include membership eligibility (based on volunteer hours), museum discounts, and invitations to volunteer appreciation events. For more information or to request a volunteer application, please contact Becky Soules, Daily Visitor & Youth Programs Manager, at rsoules@shakers.org. Posted on: 04/20/2016
