Museums and Design Education

Looking to Learn, Learning to See

How can museum educators and higher education tutors enhance the way HE students use museums? There are many examples in the UK of museums and universities working together in productive and innovative ways, but these relationships tend to be based on individual enthusiasm and opportunistic arrangements. Despite the growing importance of museum education departments, higher education tends to be overlooked by museums. This book looks at the interaction between design students and museums, and explores issues, projects and emerging ideas about how museums can better support HE students. It illustrates the general lessons that can be learnt, both strategic and practical, which can help to bring about long-term and constructive relationships between museums and universities in order to enable effective student learning.

If anything, she would pray that Jamie would not feel abandoned when the babe
came. She looked out over the burn, seeing the water that lapped at Blackleith's
wall itself. Five feet above the bank, Lang Gib had said. And forall that Wat had
ridden outwith her letter two weeks before, neither he nor an answer had
returned. 'Twas the weather, and she knew it,yet she could nothelp hoping.
Before she was fat and ungainly she'd lie in her husband's arms, and hear him

Beyond Myself

The Farm Girl and the African Chief

When author Anita Katherine Dennis walked into the anthropology class during her sophomore year at Ohio University in 1964, she was sure the class would prove interesting. She had no idea how right she would be. In Beyond Myself, she narrates the love story that developed between her and her anthropology professor, Dr. Ben Dennis, an African tribal chief. In this memoir, she shares how God sustained her during her interracial, cross-cultural marriage—especially as she played the role of chief’s wife in a remote village in Liberia, West Africa. Her life was full of extremes. She met the president of Liberia in the Executive Mansion—and slept in a mud hut. She visited European capitals—and lived in a remote African village. She flew on transatlantic flights—and was carried through the high forest in a chief’s hammock. Anita shares her struggles as she is accepted into the Mende tribe and lived in Vahun with an off and on kerosene fridge, swarming termites on the screens, a cyclone barely missing the house, and pungent elephant meat delivered in the middle of the night. Beyond Myself offers an example of West meets Africa personified. Anita tells how life with Ben was more than a marriage. It was an education and adventure wrapped into one. Ben allowed Anita to escape her narrow cultural confines and embark on a journey from farm girl to global citizen, with plenty of missteps throughout. For more information visit: www.anitakdennis.com. From the Kirkus Review: "....Dennis led a life filled with remarkable events and translated them into an entertaining memoir....overall she proves to be a storyteller with a keen eye for detail and fully re-creates the complexities of her marriage and the exciting challenges she faced in Africa. A cleareyed memoir about navigating fraught relationships and other cultures."

Our guest room featured a king-size bed with plenty of room for Bengie to lie
between us. The dark brown floor-to-ceiling drapes and droning window air
conditioner were conducive for sleeping. On our way to dinner, Sandy spotted a
tiny brown lizard on the hallway floor and let out a scream. The cook from the
Bassa tribe walked over, took a look, and said with a grin, “That's a sign of good
luck.” We ate Liberian dishes in the formal dining room: Jollof rice, a
