SUMMARY:Presentation:Museum Studies Program\, Museums at Noon
DESCRIPTION:Because fossils of our human ancestors (hominins) remain in their country of discovery\, museum collections relating to human origins predominantly consist of casts. These cast collections are often overlooked and undervalued in human origins research since they are not the original fossils. But\, these collections hold untapped research and teaching potential. During my internship\, I explored the 90-year legacy of human origins research at the Field Museum in Chicago through the reorganization of their hominin cast collection. \n\nThis talk highlights how I used my background on human evolution to contextualize the collection in support of teaching\, exhibition development\, and science communication. Overall\, this case study demonstrates how deeper investigations into museum collections can create new avenues for research and support broader museum goals.\n\nPresentation by Georgia Oppenheim (Museum Studies Program\; PhD candidate\, Biological Anthropology)
