The newly founded Institute of Museum Ethics at Seton Hall University will launch a range of educational initiatives designed to help museum professionals create more transparent, accountable, and socially responsible institutions. Funding will support the introduction of two new courses on museum ethics in association with the University’s M.A. program in Museum Professions that will be open to both graduate students and working professionals; a national conference on museum ethics; public lectures; workshops for University faculty on infusing ethics across the museum studies curriculum; and the design and launch of a unique web portal that will become a national resource featuring an ethics listserv, media feeds, and bibliographies and other tools to help museum professionals incorporate ethics into ongoing operations.
