Description
The University of Michigan Museum Studies Program’s series of “Working Papers in Museum Studies” presents emerging research from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, all focused on the multiple concerns of the modern museum and heritage studies field. Contributions from scholars, members of the museum profession and graduate students are represented. Many of these papers have their origins in public presentations made under the auspices of the Museum Studies Program. We gratefully thank the authors published herein for their participation.
This paper was first presented as part of the University of Michigan Museum Studies Program’s “Issues in Museum Studies” lecture series on October 26, 2010. This paper would not have been possible without the help of Professor James Lee, Professor Pan Shouyong and interviewees, whose names must remain anonymous. I am very grateful to Professor Raymond Silverman and Dr. Bradley Taylor for their constant support and encouragement. I also thank Professor Jennifer Robertson and Professor Eric Mueggler for their advice. This research was made possible by the generous support of the Fellowship for the Doctoral Research in Museums, Grant for Dissertation Research in Anthropology, PRC Chinese Government Fellowship, Rackham International Research Award, and the Peking-American School Doctoral Fellowship. keunykim@umich.edu
