Vol. 3, N. 1, Spring 2008
Where is Queer?
Edited by John Fraser and Joe E. Heimlich
------------------------------------------------------
As museum practitioners, we work hard to acknowledge and embrace our visitors' unique backgrounds and experiences, which significantly impact their museum experiences. But in our discourse about visitor diversity, have we considered the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer community enough? This important volume addresses this long-neglected topic through insightful essays that investigate the relationship between sexuality and museums, that present practical ideas for effectively engaging museum visitors who identify as GLBTQ, and that compel museum professionals to be more reflective about our practice and our biases.
