What can we learn from them? +- Highlighting the question of "how to amplify voices of the unrecognized": Is this the purpose of museums? A recurring theme of the class has been: what is the purpose of the museum? Is designing community-first exhibits the goals for all museums? Some? What contexts might call for different approaches / reasons for approaches? +- Highlighting the question of "is the museum unwelcoming to large portions of our society": How might museums address the question of trying to be accommodating to all? If this is the goal, what are some ways museums CAN address all; if this is not the goal, please explain the alternative goals / approaches. + +On Ferreira's (2020) ideas on transmedia storytelling in museums: +- How can museums utilize transmedia storytelling in their work (what contexts)? What are some affordances and limitations of doing so? +- How might museums navigate accessibility and representation in their use of transmedia storytelling? +- What examples of transmedia storytelling in/from museums can be found? What can be learned from non-museum uses of transmedia storytelling? How can those learnings translate to guiding implementation in museum settings? + +On Lupton's (2017) writing on design as storytelling: +- In thinking about the chronosphere -- the outermost level in Bronfenbrenner's ecological model (micro-, meso-, exo-, macro- system are the first four, in order -- an artifact in a museum is impacted in a way related to the time in which a visitor is experiencing it, and the visitor is similarly impacted in a way related to the time in their lives which they're experiencing it; is there a way then to capture the dynamic and ever-changing story of an artifact and its experiencer? +- How are the museumgoer's experience and the [hero's journey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27s_journey) related? How are artifacts in a museum and the hero's journey related? What are ways that this could be utilized in creating a more compelling museum experience? +- Reflect on exhibit layouts that you may have seen recently and/or that have had an impact on you. How did the layout contribute to your experience, and in what ways? \ No newline at end of file
